[The Daybreak Boys]
My lass, she tied her lace to me
To make our love forever be
She spoke no word when she drew near
Yet only hummed and shed her tear

My lass, she smelled of cowslip oil
As round she would immortal coil
She grazed her gentle line of white
And said, "'Til death, I'll hold you tight."

My lass, she tied her lace to me;
And every night I think of she
Who loved me more than songs can say –
And sent her life with me away

That like the knot, was so her heart
And ne'er from her I'd come to part
So now, I touch that line of white
And whisper, "Love, my love goodnight."
