Text by Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher from the play The Maid's Tragedy (pub. 1619). Pearsall's adaptation of the text reflects the 3rd person, instead of the original 1st.
Lay a garland on her hearse
of dismal yew.
Maidens, willow branches wear,
say she died true.
Her love was false, but she was firm
Upon her buried body lie
lightly, thou[II] gentle earth.
Recorded and filmed at Saint Martin of Tours Parish in La Mesa, Ca.
Original still photos taken in Bellinzona (Switzerland), Cuyamaca Rancho State Park, and the Bennington Memorial Oak Grove in San Diego, California.
