I shall bury my weary Love
I have come to bury Love
Beneath a tree,
Beneath a tree,
In the forest tall and black
In the forest tall and black
Where none can see
Where none can see.
I shall put no flowers at his head,

Nor stone at his feet,
I shall put no flowers at his head,
Nor stone at his feet,
For the mouth I loved so much
Was bittersweet.
For the mouth I loved so much
Was bittersweet.
I shall go no more to his grave,

For the woods are cold.
I shall gather as much of joy
I shall go no more to his grave,
For the woods are cold.
As my hands can hold.
I shall gather as much of joy
I shall stay all day in the sun
As my hands can hold.
Where the wide winds blow,
But oh, I shall cry at night

When none will know.
I shall stay all day in the sun
Where the wide winds blow,


But oh, I shall weep at night
When none will know.
