Male voice laments and female responds in a song Jean Ritchie set to Star of the County Down. Odd, but I have the lyrics, not the title, so excuse me if I'm putting down something that's already in DT:

(Male) The time has come my dearest dear; for you and I to part;
And can't you see the pain and woe; of my poor troubled heart.
(Female) My dearest dear now dry your tears; for I hate to see you cry;
The best of friends must oft times part; and now it is you and I
(M) Don't you recall that starry night; when you gave to me your hand;
And you swore that if you married were; that I would be the man
(F) Oh I recall that starry night; when I gave my hand to you;
And I would gladly have been your wife; if only you'd proven true;
(M) Take back those cruel words my love; I cannot from you depart;
And can't you see, my dearest dear; you are breaking my poor heart
(F) For when I'm dead and in my grave; and you stand a-mourning here;
The birds will sing from every tree you are my dearest dear.

A teacher gave me this as a time-keeping exercise to play the male's lamenting verse in waltz time and the response in march time.
