They nothing said, but many a tear, Heigho! the Wind and Rain; Rained down on that knight's lowly bier, Ah, well-a-day! amain.

They nothing said, but many a sigh, Heigho! the Wind and Rain; Told how they wished like him to die, Ah, well-a-day! sans stain.

With solemn mass and orison, Heigho! the Wind and Rain, They reared o'er him a cross of stone, All, well-a-day! in pain.

And on it graved with daggers bright, Heigho! the Wind and Rain; Here lies a true and gentle Knight, Ah, well-a-day! Amen!
