Song

1

The hay was mown and grounds were cleared
And flags were green each side the streams
On white thorn bush bell flowers appeared
As white as lillies are in dreams
While I was walking by the streams
With love and health in eather eye
With cheeks as rosey as sunbeams
A country maiden passed me by.

2

The hedge rose showed her bonny cheek
The bell flowers hue her lily skin
My fancy eyed her one whole week
And much I tried the maid to win
I wooed her in the morning beams
Beside green flags and rustling reeds
She plucked a bent beside the streams
And bowed her head to count the seeds.

3

Ten plucked a dog rose from the brere
The palest on the bush got she
She got it for her lover dear
For then she had his company
I eyed the maid from top to toe
It was the same the very same
I started in my dream to know
And try to recollect her name.
