Hark Spring is coming Her herald sings	A
Cuckoo	B
The air resounds and the woodland rings	A
Cuckoo Cuckoo	B
Leave the milking pail and the mantling cream	C
And down by the meadow and up by the stream	C
Where movement is music and life a dream	C
In the month when sings the cuckoo	B
	-
Away with old Winter's frowns and fears	D
Cuckoo Cuckoo	B
Now May with a smile dries April's tears	E
Cuckoo	B
When the bees are humming in bloom and bud	F
And the kine sit chewing the moist green cud	F
Shall the snow not melt in a maiden's blood	F
In the month when sings the cuckoo	B
	-
The popinjay mates and the lapwing woos	G
Cuckoo	B
In the lane is a footstep I wonder whose	G
Cuckoo Cuckoo	B
How sweet are low whispers and sweet so sweet	F
When the warm hands touch and the shy lips meet	F
And sorrel and woodruff are round our feet	F
In the month when sings the cuckoo	B
	-
Your face is as fragrant as moist musk rose	H
Cuckoo Cuckoo	B
All the year in your cheek the windflower blows	H
Cuckoo Cuckoo	B
You flit as blithely as bird on wing	I
And when you answer and when they sing	I
I know not if they or You be Spring	I
In the month when pairs the cuckoo	B
	-
Will you love me still when the blossom droops	H
Cuckoo	B
When the cracked husk falls and the fieldfare troops	H
Cuckoo	B
Let sere leaf or snowdrift shade your brow	J
By the soul of the Spring sweet heart I vow	J
I will love you then as I love you now	J
In the month when sings the cuckoo	B
	-
Smooth smooth is the sward where the loosestrife grows	H
Cuckoo Cuckoo	B
As we lie and hear in a dreamy doze	H
Cuckoo Cuckoo Cuckoo	B
And smooth is the curve of a maiden's cheek	K
When she loves to listen but fears to speak	K
And we yearn but we know not what we seek	K
In the month when sings the cuckoo	B
	-
But in warm mid summer we hear no more	L
Cuckoo	B
And August brings not with all its store	L
Cuckoo	B
When Autumn shivers on Winter's brink	M
And the wet wind wails through crevice and chink	M
We gaze at the logs and sadly think	M
Of the month when called the cuckoo	B
	-
But the cuckoo comes back and shouts once more	L
Cuckoo	B
And the world is as young as it was before	L
Cuckoo Cuckoo	B
It grows not older for mortal tears	H
For the falsehood of men or for women's fears	H
'Tis as young as it was in the bygone years	H
When first was heard the cuckoo	B
	-
I will love you then as I love you now	J
Cuckoo	B
What cares the Spring for a broken vow	J
Cuckoo Cuckoo	B
The broods of last year are pairing this	H
And there never will lack while love is bliss	H
Fresh ears to cozen fresh lips to kiss	H
In the month when sings the cuckoo	B
	-
O cruel bird will you never have done	N
Cuckoo Cuckoo Cuckoo	B
You sing for the cloud as you sang for the sun	N
Cuckoo Cuckoo	B
You mock me now as you mocked me then	O
When I knew not yet that the loves of men	O
Are as brief as the glamour of glade and glen	O
And the glee of the fleeting cuckoo	B
	-
O to lie once more in the long fresh grass	H
Cuckoo	B
And dream of the sounds and scents that pass	H
Cuckoo Cuckoo	B
To savour the woodbine surmise the dove	P
With no roof save the far off sky above	P
And a curtain of kisses round couch of love	P
While distantly called the cuckoo	B
	-
But if now I slept I should sleep to wake	Q
To the sleepless pang and the dreamless ache	Q
To the wild babe blossom within my heart	F
To the darkening terror and swelling smart	F
To the searching look and the words apart	F
And the hint of the tell tale cuckoo	B
	-
The meadow grows thick and the stream runs deep	R
Cuckoo	B
Where the aspens quake and the willows weep	R
Cuckoo Cuckoo	B
The dew of the night and the morning heat	F
Will close up the track of my farewell feet	F
So good bye to the life that once was sweet	F
When so sweetly called the cuckoo	B
	-
The kine are unmilked and the cream unchurned	F
Cuckoo	B
The pillow unpressed and the quilt unturned	F
Cuckoo Cuckoo	B
'Twas easy to gibe at a beldame's fear	S
For the quick brief blush and the sidelong tear	T
But if maids will gad in the youth of the year	S
They should heed what says the cuckoo	B
	-
There are marks in the meadow laid up for hay	U
Cuckoo	B
And the tread of a foot where no foot should stray	U
Cuckoo Cuckoo	B
The banks of the pool are broken down	V
Where the water is quiet and deep and brown	V
The very spot if one longed to drown	V
And no more to hear the cuckoo	B
	-
'Tis a full taut net and a heavy haul	W
Cuckoo Cuckoo	B
Look her auburn hair and her trim new shawl	W
Cuckoo Cuckoo	B
Draw a bit this way where 'tis not so steep	R
There cover her face She but seems asleep	R
While the swallows skim and the graylings leap	R
And joyously sings the cuckoo	B
