Barbara Elen, slika iz "Nezaboravka" (Forget-Me-Not, 1840) |
Na srpski jezik pesmu je, inače, preveo Todor Tošić u knjizi "Engleske i škotske narodne balade" (SKZ, 1991), ali su izostavljene baš dve poslednje strofe koje donose utehu:
They buried her in the old churchyard
They buried him in the choir
And from his grave grew a red red rose
From her grave a green briar
They grew and grew to the steeple top
Till they could grow no higher
And there they twined in a true love's knot
Red rose around green briar
