Now is the sunny Spring In every meadow seen, Now birds on wanton wing Do fly through forest green; Each lusty living thing Must needs rejoice and sing, Then let us bear our part With a blithe and merry heart, And a fa la la la la. Now by each reedy brook, That doth to music run; The shepherd hangs his crook With garlands in the sun: The fields, by snow forsook, Put on their freshest look, The swain to labour goes, When as the south wind blows, And a fa la la la la. Now May in flowers bedight Doth all to music move, And maids in dances light Their joy of heart do prove. The nightingale by night Doth echo our delight, And the cuckoo cries abroad, The springtime let us laud And a fa la la la la.
