What do you make so fair and bright?
I make the cloak of sorrow:
O lovely to see in all men's sight
Shall be the cloak of Sorrow,
In all men's sight.

What do you build with sails for flight?
I build a boat for Sorrow:
O swift on the seas all day and night
Saileth the rover Sorrow,
All day and night.
What do you weave with wool so white?
I weave the shoes of Sorrow:
Soundless shall be the footfall light
In all men's ears of Sorrow,
Sudden and light.
