(1) 


The rose new-opening saith, 
And the dew of the morning saith, 
(Fallen leaves and vanished dew) 
Remember death. 
Ding dong bell 
Ding dong bell


(2) 


May-moon thin and young 
In the sky, 
Ere you wax and wane 
I shall die; 
So my faltering breath, 
So my tired heart saith, 
That foretell me death. 
Ding-dong 
Ding-dong
Ding-dong ding-dong bell


(3) 


"Thy gold hair likes me well 
And thy blue eyes," he saith, 
Who chooses where he will 
And none may hinder — Death. 
At head and feet for candles 
Roses burning red, 
The valley lilies tolling 
For the early dead: 
Ding-dong ding-dong 
Ding-dong ding-dong
Ding-dong ding-dong bell
Ding-dong bell
