This makes me think of Wuthering Heights, from a Heathcliff point of view.

Interesting to see the link to 'The Unquiet Grave', a lengthy piece which apparently dates from 1400! But the lyrics are quite different from that piece and apparently the song in this form is also an old traditional number [see "Walsh's Irish Popular Songs", 1847]
