Tekst piosenki
When in the springtime of the year When the trees arecrowned with leaves When the ash and oak, and the birch andyew Are dressed in ribbons fair When the owlscall the breathless moon In the blue veil of the night The shadows of the trees appear Amidst the lanternlights[chorus]We've been rambling all thenight And sometime of this day Now returning backagain We bring a garland gay Who will go down tothose shady groves And summon the shadows there Andtie a ribbon on those sheltering arms In the springtime ofthe year The songs of birds seem to fill the wood That when the fiddler plays All their voices can beheard Long past the woodland days[chorus]And so they linked their hands and danced Round incircles and in rows And so the journey of the nightdescends When all the shades are gone"A garland gaywe bring you here And at your door we stand It is asprout well budded out The work of our lord's hand"[chorus]
