''Eversley'' (1847) There sits a bird on every tree; Sing heigh-ho! There sits a bird on every tree, And courts his love as I do thee; Sing heigh-ho, and heigh-ho! Young maids must marry. There grows a flower on every bough; Sing heigh-ho! There grows a flower on every bough, Its petals kiss— I’ll show you how: Sing heigh-ho, and heigh-ho! Young maids must marry. From sea to stream the salmon roam; Sing heigh-ho! From sea to stream the salmon roam; Each finds a mate, and leads her home; Sing heigh-ho, and heigh-ho! Young maids must marry. The sun’s a bridegroom, earth a bride; Sing heigh-ho! They court from morn till eventide:° The earth shall pass, but love abide. Sing heigh-ho, and heigh-ho! Young maids must marry. °''The Works of Charles Kingsley'' (4th edition, 1899) uses this wording. In the published score, the phrase reads “They come from moonlit eventide.”
