- | |
No those days are gone away | B |
And their hours are old and gray | B |
And their minutes buried all | C |
Under the down trodden pall | D |
Of the leaves of many years | E |
Many times have winter's shears | F |
Frozen North and chilling East | G |
Sounded tempests to the feast | G |
Of the forest's whispering fleeces | H |
Since men knew nor rent nor leases | H |
- | |
No the bugle sounds no more | I |
And the twanging bow no more | I |
Silent is the ivory shrill | J |
Past the heath and up the hill | J |
There is no mid forest laugh | K |
Where lone Echo gives the half | K |
To some wight amaz'd to hear | L |
Jesting deep in forest drear | L |
- | |
On the fairest time of June | M |
You may go with sun or moon | M |
Or the seven stars to light you | N |
Or the polar ray to right you | N |
But you never may behold | O |
Little John or Robin bold | O |
Never one of all the clan | P |
Thrumming on an empty can | P |
Some old hunting ditty while | Q |
He doth his green way beguile | Q |
To fair hostess Merriment | O |
Down beside the pasture Trent | O |
For he left the merry tale | R |
Messenger for spicy ale | R |
- | |
Gone the merry morris din | S |
Gone the song of Gamelyn | S |
Gone the tough belted outlaw | T |
Idling in the gren egrave shawe | B |
All are gone away and past | O |
And if Robin should be cast | O |
Sudden from his turfed grave | U |
And if Marian should have | V |
Once again her forest days | W |
She would weep and he would craze | W |
He would swear for all his oaks | X |
Fall'n beneath the dockyard strokes | X |
Have rotted on the briny seas | Y |
She would weep that her wild bees | Y |
Sang not to her strange that honey | S |
Can't be got without hard money | S |
- | |
So it is yet let us sing | Z |
Honour to the old bow string | Z |
Honour to the bugle horn | S |
Honour to the woods unshorn | S |
Honour to the Lincoln green | S |
Honour to the archer keen | S |
Honour to tight little John | S |
And the horse he rode upon | S |
Honour to bold Robin Hood | O |
Sleeping in the underwood | O |
Honour to maid Marian | S |
And to all the Sherwood clan | S |
Though their days have hurried by | A2 |
Let us two a burden try | A2 |
