“My Bonny Lad”
Description
"Ha' you seen owt of my bonny lad?... He's gone along wi' a stick in his hand/He's gone to row the keel-o" "Yes, I ha' seen your bonny lad; 'twas on the sea I spied him/His grave was green, but not wi' grass/And you'll never lay beside him"
Notes
This sounds like a fragment, but in fact the story is complete, although squeezed down to bare essentials. - PJS
