charles villiers stanford - as thro' the land lyrics

as thro’ the land at eve we went
and pluck’d the ripen’d ears
we fell out, my wife and i
o we fell out i know not why
and kiss’d again with tears

and blessings on the falling out
that all the more endears
when we fall out with those we love
and kiss again with tears!
for when we came where lies the child
we lost in other years
there above the little grave
o there above the little grave
we kiss’d again with tears
