In the streets with me | B |
Now that Spring is blowing | C |
Warm winds from the sea | B |
Now that trees grow green and tall | D |
Now the sun shines mellow | E |
And with moist primroses all | D |
English lanes are yellow | E |
- | |
Little barefoot maiden | A |
Selling violets blue | F |
Hast thou ever pictur d | B |
Where the sweetlings grew | F |
Oh the warm wild woodland ways | G |
Deep in dewy grasses | H |
Where the windblown shadow strays | G |
Scented as it passes | H |
- | |
Pedlar breathing deeply | B |
Toiling into town | I |
With the dusty highway | J |
You are dusky brown | I |
Hast thou seen by daisied leas | K |
And by rivers flowing | C |
Lilac ringlets which the breeze | K |
Loosens lightly blowing | C |
- | |
Out of yonder wagon | A |
Pleasant hay scents float | L |
He who drives it carries | K |
A daisy in his coat | L |
Oh the English meadows fair | M |
Far beyond all praises | H |
Freckled orchids everywhere | M |
Mid the snow of daisies | K |
- | |
Now in busy silence | N |
Broods the nightingale | O |
Choosing his love s dwelling | C |
In a dimpled dale | O |
Round the leafy bower they raise | G |
Rose trees wild are springing | C |
Underneath thro the green haze | G |
Bounds the brooklet singing | C |
- | |
And his love is silent | P |
As a bird can be | B |
For the red buds only | B |
Fill the red rose tree | B |
Just as buds and blossoms blow | E |
He ll begin his tune | Q |
When all is green and roses glow | E |
Underneath the moon | Q |
- | |
Nowhere in the valleys | K |
Will the wind be still | R |
Everything is waving | C |
Wagging at his will | R |
Blows the milkmaid s kirtle clean | S |
With her hand press d on it | T |
Lightly o er the hedge so green | S |
Blows the ploughboy s bonnet | U |
- | |
Oh to be a roaming | C |
In an English dell | V |
Every nook is wealthy | B |
All the world looks well | V |
Tinted soft the Heavens glow | E |
Over Earth and Ocean | A |
Waters flow breezes blow | E |
All is light and motion | A |
