Rhyme Scheme: AAABCCCB DDDAEEEA FFFAGGHA IJIAKKKAWho loves the white thorn tree | A |
And the river running free | A |
There a maiden stood with me | A |
In Summer weather | B |
Near a cottage far from town | C |
While the sun went brightly down | C |
O'er the meadows green and brown | C |
We loved together | B |
- | |
How sweet her drapery flowed | D |
While the moor cock oddly crowed | D |
I took the kiss which love bestowed | D |
Under the white thorn tree | A |
Soft winds the water curled | E |
The trees their branches furled | E |
Sweetest nook in all the world | E |
Is where she stood with me | A |
- | |
Calm came the evening air | F |
The sky was sweet and fair | F |
In the river shadowed there | F |
Close by the hawthorn tree | A |
Round her neck I clasped my arms | G |
And kissed her rosy charms | G |
O'er the flood the hackle swarms | H |
Where the maiden stood with me | A |
- | |
O there's something falls so dear | I |
On the music of the ear | J |
Where the river runs so clear | I |
And my lover met with me | A |
At the foot of Clifford Hill | K |
Still I hear the clacking mill | K |
And the river's running still | K |
Under the trysting tree | A |
