"Stay Not Late" written and performed by Carolyn Hester, appears on the 2-CD compilation "Dear Companion," Bear Family CD 15701, 1995.

From the sound sample at CDNOW, I was able to transcribe this much:

"Stay not late. Life is a moment fleeting.
Your shadows creep across the floor.
Stay not late if this be our last meeting.
You gain much more than you..."
