Tell me that you love me true the fine young lord he said For you are all my breath and life I would that we were wed The maid replied I'll marry you but grant me only this To make our vows on Christmas day, this is my fondest wish So they were wed on Christmas day and all the guests agreed A finer joining of two souls they never thought to see The bridegroom said let all those here walk with us to my hall For there is laid a wedding feast, come join us one and all The bride she wore a silken gown as white as new laid snow And at her breast she held to her heart A bough of mistletoe A merry banquet amply served was laid out in the hall The newly-weds they ate and drank and danced with one and all And then the bride she told the groom this dancing wearies me So let us play a lovers' game before we take our leave Wait here a while and I will hide myself here in your house And having waited start your search and you will find me out She hid herself and then the groom and guests searched high and low But where his loving bride had gone none but she did know The bride she wore a silken gown as white as new laid snow And at her breast she held to her heart A bough of mistletoe All night and day he searched through all his house and grounds For days and weeks and months he searched but she could not be found The years wore on, the groom in grief lived out his life alone But always on his coat he wore a sprig of mistletoe The bride she wore a silken gown as white as new laid snow And at her breast she held to her heart A bough of mistletoe An old man finds an oaken chest forgotten and concealed He lifts the lid and starts to weep at what is there revealed A time-bleached skeleton arrayed in silk as white as bone And lying on the breast a withered bough of mistletoe The bride she wore a silken gown as white as new laid snow And at her breast she held to her heart A bough of mistletoe
