There stood a withered man and white
And the song was the same;

How should I know your false love
When my own love is true?
Upon your heart you wear her glove
And her rose, and her rue.

How should I know the burning hair
Of your false lovely bride?
It is herself soft standing there
At your heart, at your side.
