WHO remains in LondonA
In the streets with meB
Now that Spring is blowingC
Warm winds from the seaB
Now that trees grow green and tallD
Now the sun shines mellowE
And with moist primroses allD
English lanes are yellowE
-
Little barefoot maidenA
Selling violets blueF
Hast thou ever pictur dB
Where the sweetlings grewF
Oh the warm wild woodland waysG
Deep in dewy grassesH
Where the windblown shadow straysG
Scented as it passesH
-
Pedlar breathing deeplyB
Toiling into townI
With the dusty highwayJ
You are dusky brownI
Hast thou seen by daisied leasK
And by rivers flowingC
Lilac ringlets which the breezeK
Loosens lightly blowingC
-
Out of yonder wagonA
Pleasant hay scents floatL
He who drives it carriesK
A daisy in his coatL
Oh the English meadows fairM
Far beyond all praisesH
Freckled orchids everywhereM
Mid the snow of daisiesK
-
Now in busy silenceN
Broods the nightingaleO
Choosing his love s dwellingC
In a dimpled daleO
Round the leafy bower they raiseG
Rose trees wild are springingC
Underneath thro the green hazeG
Bounds the brooklet singingC
-
And his love is silentP
As a bird can beB
For the red buds onlyB
Fill the red rose treeB
Just as buds and blossoms blowE
He ll begin his tuneQ
When all is green and roses glowE
Underneath the moonQ
-
Nowhere in the valleysK
Will the wind be stillR
Everything is wavingC
Wagging at his willR
Blows the milkmaid s kirtle cleanS
With her hand press d on itT
Lightly o er the hedge so greenS
Blows the ploughboy s bonnetU
-
Oh to be a roamingC
In an English dellV
Every nook is wealthyB
All the world looks wellV
Tinted soft the Heavens glowE
Over Earth and OceanA
Waters flow breezes blowE
All is light and motionA
