FainOnFriday - Full of Song Lyrics

Now the day is full of song
And now the curlew's calling
Hear the snipe that all night long
Its love-drum beats till morning

Marigolds with heavy stance
Have formed a golden meadow
When the south wind calls a dance
The willow herb will follow

Gather, gather grass with dew
Gather, gather reeds anew
Gather, gather, gather, gather flowers

And the pond, till day is late
Has flowering rush to light it
Holds up high each stem so straight
To let the sun ignite it

Gather, gather grass with dew
Gather, gather reeds anew
Gather, gather, gather, gather flowers

Now young maids with stitches fine
Their wedding gowns are seaming
She who for a groom must pine
Will find hers when she's dreaming

Gather, gather grass with dew
Gather, gather reeds anew
Gather, gather, gather, gather flowers

Hand me a forget-me-not
And mint ere our game's over
Then we will, as like as not
End up as if in clover

Gather, gather grass with dew
Gather, gather reeds anew
Gather, gather, gather, gather flowers

Now the day is full of song...
