"A four-part setting of traditional words from a broadside ballad, as a folk-tune-like song for soprani with accompanying choir of alto/tenor/bass. The unaccompanied folk-song version is also given. Whilst through-composed folk-songs are relatively thin on the ground, they certainly do exist."

¶Liedtext

(Sing, o sing, my own true-love, Sing, my dearest dear.) Through bushes and through briers I lately took my way, All for to hear the small birds sing and the lambs to skip and play; I overheard my own true love, her voice it was so clear: Long time I have been waiting for the coming of my dear. Sometimes I am uneasy and troubled in my mind, Sometimes I think I'll go to my love and tell to him my mind. And if I should go to my love, my love he will say nay, If I show to him my boldness, he'll ne'er love me again. And I cannot think the reason young women love young men For they are so false-hearted, young women to trepan;       [to betray] Yet I’m of the opinion my heart is not my own. So the green, green grave will see me, for I cannot love that man.
