SONG
[Thrice welcome sweet summer in softness returning]
Thrice welcome sweet summer in softness returning
Thrice welcome ye skies wi no clouds on your brow
Again ye return my delights of the morning
& clean up the roads to tempt doll to her cow
Thrice welcome ye skies wi no clouds on your brow
Again ye return my delights of the morning
& clean up the roads to tempt doll to her cow
Thrice welcome ye flowers I rejoice in your blooming
Ye cowslaps dew shaken by night roving cow
& eglantine brambles of sweetest perfuming
Ill rub off your prickles a wreath for her brow
Ye cowslaps dew shaken by night roving cow
& eglantine brambles of sweetest perfuming
Ill rub off your prickles a wreath for her brow
& welcome ye awthorns your green leaves delight me
Oer arching the brook wi your thick screening bough
In your secret shelter shall kisses invite me
To bear home the load of my love from her cow
Oer arching the brook wi your thick screening bough
In your secret shelter shall kisses invite me
To bear home the load of my love from her cow
