SONG.
[When days of frost and snow were over]
When days of frost and snow were over,
I told the sleepless moon,
I told the stars, that my true lover
Would see his Mary soon:
Now, children seek the daisied closes,
Birds sing the green world o'er,
And woodbines wed the wild hedge roses,
But William comes no more!
I told the sleepless moon,
I told the stars, that my true lover
Would see his Mary soon:
266
Birds sing the green world o'er,
And woodbines wed the wild hedge roses,
But William comes no more!
Ere wintry days again are over,
Ere daisies come again,
I shall not need a faithless lover,
Nor wish for rest in vain:
Oh, Woodbine flower, our last was spoken
Where now thou flauntest free!
Oh, wild Hedge Rose, my heart is broken!
Thou bloom'st in vain for me.
Ere daisies come again,
I shall not need a faithless lover,
Nor wish for rest in vain:
Oh, Woodbine flower, our last was spoken
Where now thou flauntest free!
Oh, wild Hedge Rose, my heart is broken!
Thou bloom'st in vain for me.
