Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDB EFEFGF HIHIJICome from your bed my drowsy gentleman | A |
And you fair lady rise and braid your hair | B |
And let the children wash if wash they can | C |
If not assist you them and make them fair | B |
As is the morning and the morning sky | D |
And every tree and bush and bird in air | B |
- | |
The sun climbed on the heights three hours ago | E |
He laughed above the hills and they were glad | F |
With bubbled pearl he made the rivers flow | E |
And laced their mists in silver and he clad | F |
The meads in fragrant pomp of green and gold | G |
And bade the world forget it had been sad | F |
- | |
So lift yourself good sir and you sweet dame | H |
Unlash your evening eyes of pious grey | I |
Call on the children by each loved name | H |
And set them on the grass and let them play | I |
And play with them a while and sing with them | J |
Beneath the cherry bush a roundelay | I |
