¶Lyrics / Text

Through the bowers sweet winds are stealing, And the noisy rooks are wheeling; All their grace are flowers revealing, Hidden long in wintry snows. Awake, awake! ye Naiads fair, For by your haunts the streamlet flows, And soft the zephyr blows! Ah, the summer’s nigh! On the hill the roe is belling, And the fountains are upwelling, And the heart first love is telling, Hidden long like wintry wintry flower. Awake, awake! oh maiden fair, Upon thy life no shadows lower, And love rules brake and bower. Ah, the summer’s nigh!
