Alison and Willie

Alison and Willie is Child ballad 256, and fragmentary in form.

ynopsis

Willie is in love with Alison. She asks him to her wedding; he says only if he is the bridegroom; she declares that will never be and he will forget her. He rides on, thinking only of her, sees animals, where a knight can not catch one, and realizes that he will never win her. His heart breaks.

The text breaks off.

Alison receives a letter, calls off the wedding, and dies.
