¶Lyrics / Text

First verse only. Note that Wesley does not always follow the Middle English spelling used (or invented) by Chatterton and which is given below. O, synge untoe mie roundelaie! O, droppe the brynie teare wythe mee! Daunce ne moe atte hallie daie; Lycke a reynynge ryver bee: Mie love ys dedde, Gon to hys death-bedde, Al under the wyllowe tree.
