The bells tolled at her passing,
And I wept tears of blood.
The good life is so fleeting,
And destiny is so cruel.
My heart is tossed in a sea of pain,
And I know that I am alone.
She lies cold in her coffin,
And all my joy flown.
We were once young and happy,
She was my hope and joy.
Her sweet eyes were so violent,
She charmed my dark brooding heart.
The shade of death struck my wedding night,
And stole my lovely young bride.
She calls now I must join her,
To sleep cold at her side.
