O come to the meadows I'll show you whereA
Primrose and violet blowB
And the hawthorn spreads its blossoms fairA
White as the driven snowB
I'll show you where the daisies dotC
With silver stars the leaD
The orchis and forget me notC
The flower of memoryD
-
The gold cup and the meadow sweetE
That love the river's sideF
The reed that bows the wave to meetE
And sighs above the tideF
The stately flag that gaily rearsG
Aloft its yellow crestH
The lily in whose cup the tearsI
Of morn delight to restH
-
The first in Nature's dainty wreathJ
We'll cull the brier roseK
The crowfoot and the purple heathJ
And pink that sweetly blowsK
The hare bell with its airy flowersL
Shall deck my Laura's breastH
Of all that bud in woodland bowersL
I love the hare bell bestH
-
I'll pull the bonny golden broomM
To bind thy flowing hairA
For thee the eglantine shall bloomM
Whose fragrance fills the airA
We'll sit beside yon wooded knollN
To hear the blackbird singO
And fancy in his merry trollN
The joyous voice of springO
-
We'll sit and watch the sparkling wavesP
That leap exulting byQ
Whilst in the pines above us ravesP
The wind's wild minstrelsyP
It swells the echoes of the groveR
'Tis Nature's plaintive voiceP
The winds and waters breathe of loveS
And all her tribes rejoiceP
-
Whilst youth and hope and health are oursP
We'll rove the verdant gladeT
But ah spring's sweetest loveliest flowersP
Like us but bloom to fadeT
They spread their beauties to the sunU
And live their little dayV
Then droop and wither one by oneU
Till all are passed awayV
-
Already scattered in the dustW
My first May garland liesP
The hope that owns a mortal trustW
As quickly fades and diesP
Then let us seek a brighter wreathJ
Than Nature here has givenU
The flowers of virtue bud beneathJ
But only bloom in heavenU
