¶Liedtext

Ye nymphs and sylvan gods That love green fields and woods, When spring newly-born, Loves herself to adorn With flow'rs and blooming buds, In cheerful lays sing in the praise, Amidst the pleasant vale of those that choose their sleep to lose, And in the cold dews with clouted shoes Still carry the milking pail. When cold bleak winds do roar And flowers spring no more, The fields, lately seen So pleasant and green, By winter all candied o'er. Oh! how the town lass looks, With her white face and her lips of deadly pale; But it is not so with those that go Thro' frost and snow, with cheeks that glow, To carry the milking pail.
