A poor lad once and a lad so trim<\/p>\n
Gave his love to her that loved not him.<\/p>\n
And says she, “fetch me tonight you rogue”<\/p>\n
Your mother’s heart to feed my dog!<\/p>\n
To his mother’s house went that young man<\/p>\n
Killed her, and took the heart, and ran.<\/p>\n
And as he was running, look you, he fell<\/p>\n
And the heart rolled to the ground as well.<\/p>\n
And the lad, as the heart was was a-rolling, heard<\/p>\n
That the heart was speaking, and this was the word<\/p>\n
The heart was a weeping and crying so small<\/p>\n
“Are you hurt my child, are you hurt at all?”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
