Rhyme Scheme: AAAAABCDECFGFG HIHHHICJBCGKGK HAHHHBCCCCCACAThe apple trees are hung with gold | A |
And birds are loud in Arcady | A |
The sheep lie bleating in the fold | A |
The wild goat runs across the wold | A |
But yesterday his love he told | A |
I know he will come back to me | B |
O rising moon O Lady moon | C |
Be you my lover's sentinel | D |
You cannot choose but know him well | E |
For he is shod with purple shoon | C |
You cannot choose but know my love | F |
For he a shepherd's crook doth bear | G |
And he is soft as any dove | F |
And brown and curly is his hair | G |
- | |
The turtle now has ceased to call | H |
Upon her crimson footed groom | I |
The grey wolf prowls about the stall | H |
The lily's singing seneschal | H |
Sleeps in the lily bell and all | H |
The violet hills are lost in gloom | I |
O risen moon O holy moon | C |
Stand on the top of Helice | J |
And if my own true love you see | B |
Ah if you see the purple shoon | C |
The hazel crook the lad's brown hair | G |
The goat skin wrapped about his arm | K |
Tell him that I am waiting where | G |
The rushlight glimmers in the Farm | K |
- | |
The falling dew is cold and chill | H |
And no bird sings in Arcady | A |
The little fauns have left the hill | H |
Even the tired daffodil | H |
Has closed its gilded doors and still | H |
My lover comes not back to me | B |
False moon False moon O waning moon | C |
Where is my own true lover gone | C |
Where are the lips vermilion | C |
The shepherd's crook the purple shoon | C |
Why spread that silver pavilion | C |
Why wear that veil of drifting mist | A |
Ah thou hast young Endymion | C |
Thou hast the lips that should be kissed | A |
