¶Lyrics / Text

When spring comes round and leaves are green, And cuckoos haunt the dell, When beauty everywhere is seen, And love is heard as well: I’ll hie me to my lady’s bower, There ’neath her casement sing: Come forth, come forth, there needs one flower, One flower to perfect spring! When spring comes round I’ll tell my fair: “My heart but waits one ray To wake a spring-time shining there, That will not pass away;” I’ll say to her, “That love’s May-hour,” Her voice alone can bring:– “Come forth! Come forth!” Be thou the flower, The flower to perfect spring!
