ALL under the leaves and the leaves of lifeA
nbsp nbsp nbsp I met with virgins sevenB
And one of them was Mary mildC
nbsp nbsp nbsp Our Lord's mother of HeavenB
-
'O what are you seeking you seven fair maidsD
nbsp nbsp nbsp All under the leaves of lifeA
Come tell come tell what seek youE
nbsp nbsp nbsp All under the leaves of life '-
-
'We're seeking for no leaves ThomasF
nbsp nbsp nbsp But for a friend of thineG
We're seeking for sweet Jesus ChristH
nbsp nbsp nbsp To be our guide and thine '-
-
'Go down go down to yonder townI
nbsp nbsp nbsp And sit in the galleryJ
And there you'll see sweet Jesus ChristH
nbsp nbsp nbsp Nail'd to a big yew tree '-
-
So down they went to yonder townI
nbsp nbsp nbsp As fast as foot could fallK
And many a grievous bitter tearL
nbsp nbsp nbsp From the virgins' eyes did fallK

Amen good Lord your charityJ
nbsp nbsp nbsp Is the ending of my songW
