Maying Song

歌詞

"Arise my love, shake off your dream This May morning so early Accept I pray this tree of May That here stands flowering so rarely" "My window I shall not unbar Nor rise the May to greet sir Go plant your tree where ere you please Go plant it out in the street sir" "Arise my love, shake off your dream This May morning so early Accept I pray this tree of May That here stands flowering so rarely" "But if all on the lords highway I set it up to flourish The winter's night is long and cold The tender flowers they may perish" "And if they die, dear love the tree To churchyard shall be carried And laid beneath, a briar rose Shall blossom where it lies buried" "And on the briar, a nightingale Shall sit and sing so clear love She'll sing for us her sweetest song As May comes round every year love" "Arise my love, shake off your dream This May morning so early Accept I pray this tree of May That here stands flowering so rarely"
