Blew bitter across the wild moor,

Young Mary she came with her child,

Wandering home to her own father’s door,

Crying, Father, O pray let me in!

But her father was deaf to her cries

Not a voice nor a sound reached the door

But the watch dogs did howl

And the village bells tolled

And the winds blew across the—”
