She buried him before the prime
Down a down, hey down, hey down,
She was dead herself ere e'en-song time,
With a down.
God send every gentleman,
Such hawks, such hounds, and such a leman.
With a down, derry, derry, derry down, down
The road had gone eerily still when the last note of the song faded. An air of chilled expectancy swept through the travellers like a cutting wind.
Her hand tightened on the knife at her waist.
