Since green earth is awake	A
Let us now pastime take	A
Not serving wantonness	B
Too well nor niggardness	B
Which monks of men would make	A
	-
But clothed like earth in green	C
With jocund hearts and clean	C
We will take hands and go	D
Singing where quietly blow	D
The flowers of Spring's demesne	C
	-
The cuckoo haileth loud	E
The open sky no cloud	E
Doth fleck the earth's blue tent	F
The land laughs well content	F
To put off winter shroud	E
	-
Now since 'tis Easter Day	G
All Christians may have play	G
The young Saints all agaze	B
For Christ in Heaven's maze	B
May laugh who wont to pray	G
	-
Then welcome to our round	H
They light on homely ground	H
Agnes Saint Cecily	G
Agatha Dorothy	I
Margaret Hildegonde	H
	-
Next come with Barbara	J
Lucy and Ursula	J
And last queen of the Nine	C
Clear eyed Saint Catherine	C
Joyful arrayeth her	K
	-
Then chooseth each her lad	H
And after frolic had	H
Of dance and carolling	D
And playing in a ring	D
Seek all the woodland shade	H
	-
And there for each his lass	B
Her man a nosegay has	B
Which better than word spoken	C
Might stand to be her token	C
And emblem of her grace	B
	-
For Cecily who bent	H
Her slim white neck and went	H
To Heaven a virgin still	G
The nodding daffodil	G
That bends but is not shent	H
	-
Lucy whose wounded eyes	B
Opened in Heaven star wise	B
The lady smock whose light	H
Doth prank the grass with white	H
Taketh for badge and prize	B
	-
Because for Lord Christ's hest	H
Men shore thy warm bright breast	H
Agatha see thy part	H
Showed in the burning heart	H
Of the white crocus best	H
	-
What fate was Barbara's	B
Shut in the tower of brass	B
We figure and hold up	L
Within the stiff king cup	L
That crowns the meadow grass	B
	-
Agnes than whose King Death	M
Stayed no more delicate breath	M
On earth we give for dower	N
Wood sorrel that frail flower	K
That Spring first quickeneth	M
	-
Dorothy whose shrill voice	B
Bade Heathendom rejoice	B
The sweet breath'd cowslip hath	M
And Margaret who in death	M
Saw Heaven her pearly choice	B
	-
Then she of virgin brood	H
Whom Prince of Britain woo'd	H
Ursula takes by favour	K
The hyacinth whose savour	K
Enskies the sunny wood	H
	-
Hildegonde whose spirit high	O
The Cross did not deny	O
Yet blusht to feel the shame	P
Anemones must claim	P
Whose roses early die	O
	-
Last she who gave in pledge	Q
Her neck to the wheel's edge	Q
Taketh the fresh primrose	B
Which even as she her foes	B
Redeems the wintry hedge	Q
	-
So garlanded entwined	H
Each as may prompt her mind	H
The Saints renew for Earth	M
And Heaven such seemly mirth	M
As God once had design'd	H
	-
And when the day is done	C
And veil'd the goodly Sun	C
Each man his maid by right	H
Doth kiss and bid Good night	H
And home goes every one	C
	-
The maids to Heaven do hie	R
To serve God soberly	I
The lads their loves in Heaven	C
What lowly work is given	C
They do to win the sky	O
