I Am Stretched on Your Grave

I am stretched on your grave

And will lie there forever

If your hands were in mine

I'd be sure we'd not severMy apple tree my brightness

It's time we were together

For I smell of the earth

And am worn by the weatherWhen my family thinks

That I'm safe in my bed

From night until morning

I am stretched at your headCalling out to the air

With tears hot and wild

My grief for the girl

That I loved as a childDo you remember

The night we were lost

In the shade of the blackthorn

And the chill of the frostThanks be to Jesus

We did what was right

And your maiden head still

Is your pillar of lightThe priests and the friars

Approach me in dread

Because I still love you

My love and you're deadI still would be your shelter

Through rain and through storm

And with you in your cold grave

I cannot sleep warmSo I'm stretched on your grave

And will lie there forever

If your hands were in mine

I'd be sure we'd not severMy apple tree my brightness

It's time we were together

For I smell of the earth

And am worn by the weather
