SONG
[Theres the daisey the woodbine]
Theres the daisey the woodbine
& crowflower so golden
Theres the wild rose the eglantine
& may buds unfolding
Theres flowers for my fairy
Theres bowers for my love
Wilt thou gang wi' me mary
To the banks of brooms grove
& crowflower so golden
Theres the wild rose the eglantine
& may buds unfolding
Theres flowers for my fairy
Theres bowers for my love
Wilt thou gang wi' me mary
To the banks of brooms grove
Theres the thorn bush & the ashen tree
For to shield from the heat
While the brook for refreshing thee
Runs close by thy feet
The thrushes is chanting dear
Mid the pleasures of love
Thourt the only thing wanted here
Mid the sweets of broom[s] grove
For to shield from the heat
While the brook for refreshing thee
Runs close by thy feet
The thrushes is chanting dear
Mid the pleasures of love
Thourt the only thing wanted here
Mid the sweets of broom[s] grove
Then come ere a minutes gone
Sin the long summers day
Puts her wings swift as linnets on
For hieghing away
Then come wi' no doubtings near
To fear a false love
For there[s] nothing wi out thee dear
Can please in bro[o]ms grove
Sin the long summers day
Puts her wings swift as linnets on
For hieghing away
Then come wi' no doubtings near
To fear a false love
For there[s] nothing wi out thee dear
Can please in bro[o]ms grove
439
The woodbines may nauntle dear
In blossoms so fine
The wild roses mantle near
In blushes may shine
Mary queen of each blossom proves
Shes the blossom I love
Shes the all that my bosom loves
Mong the sweets of brooms grove
In blossoms so fine
The wild roses mantle near
In blushes may shine
Mary queen of each blossom proves
Shes the blossom I love
Shes the all that my bosom loves
Mong the sweets of brooms grove
