Alas or alas ( one word ) is an archaic ( no longer used ) expression of sadness or dismay --
"Alas, poor Yorick!"
I would like to attend, but alas, I have to work on Saturday.
A lass or a lass ( two words ) is an old-fashioned term meaning one ( a ) girl or young woman ( lass ) --
"I once loved a lass and I loved her so well..."
A local lad and a lass from the village posed for that painting.
Now that you know that, you can say --
"Alas, he's smitten with a lass who doesn't know he's alive."
