Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFEE GHGHIJIJEKEK ALALEMEMENEN EOEOPQQQERERBlithe dreams arise to greet us | A |
And life feels clean and new | B |
For the old love comes to meet us | A |
In the dawning and the dew | B |
O'erblown with sunny shadows | C |
O'ersped with winds at play | D |
The woodlands and the meadows | C |
Are keeping holiday | D |
Wild foals are scampering neighing | E |
Brave merles their hautboys blow | F |
Come let us go a maying | E |
As in the Long Ago | E |
- | |
Here we but peak and dwindle | G |
The clank of chain and crane | H |
The whir of crank and spindle | G |
Bewilder heart and brain | H |
The ends of our endeavour | I |
Are merely wealth and fame | J |
Yet in the still Forever | I |
We're one and all the same | J |
Delaying still delaying | E |
We watch the fading west | K |
Come let us go a maying | E |
Nor fear to take the best | K |
- | |
Yet beautiful and spacious | A |
The wise old world appears | L |
Yet frank and fair and gracious | A |
Outlaugh the jocund years | L |
Our arguments disputing | E |
The universal Pan | M |
Still wanders fluting fluting | E |
Fluting to maid and man | M |
Our weary well a waying | E |
His music cannot still | N |
Come let us go a maying | E |
And pipe with him our fill | N |
- | |
When wanton winds are flowing | E |
Among the gladdening glass | O |
Where hawthorn brakes are blowing | E |
And meadow perfumes pass | O |
Where morning's grace is greenest | P |
And fullest noon's of pride | Q |
Where sunset spreads serenest | Q |
And sacred night's most wide | Q |
Where nests are swaying swaying | E |
And spring's fresh voices call | R |
Come let us go a maying | E |
And bless the God of all | R |
