Original text and translations
English text
- Lay a garland on her hearse
- of (the) dismal yew.
- Maidens, willow branches wear,
- say she died true.
- Her love was false, but she was firm
- (from her hour of birth.)
- Upon her buried body lie
- lightly, thou gentle earth.
- Francis Beaumont (ca. 1584-1616)
- John Fletcher (1579-1625)
note: The words inside the brackets belong to the original poem by Beaumont and Fletcher, but have been left out in the composition. The word "thou" in the last line has been added in the composition.
German translation
- Legt den Kranz von dunkler Eibe
- sachte auf ihr Grab;
- Weidenzweige bringt, ihr Mädchen,
- sagt, wie treu sie starb.
- Untreu war ihr Lieb, doch sie war
- aufrecht immerzu.
- Ihren Leib, o Erde, bette
- sanft zur ew'gen Ruh.
