The Gardener |
Proud Maisrie stands in her bower door As straight as a willow wand And by it comes a gardener lad With a red rose in his hand. And by it comes a gardener lad With a red rose in his hand. O you shall have my rose, fair maid If you'll give your flower to me And among the flowers in my garden I'll shape a gown for thee. And among the flowers in my garden I'll shape a gown for thee. The lily white shall be your smock Becomes your body best And the gillyflower to be your quill And the primrose in your breast. And the gillyflower to be your quill And the primrose in your breast. Your gown shall be the smelling thyme And your petticoat camovine And your apron of the salads neat That taste both sweet and fine. And your apron of the salads neat That taste both sweet and fine. Your gloves shall be the marigold All glittering to your hand Well dropped o'er with the blue blaewort That grows among white land. Well dropped o'er with the blue blaewort That grows among white land. Your stockings shall be of the broad kail blade That is both broad and long And narrow, narrow at the coot And broad, broad at the brawn. And narrow, narrow at the coot And broad, broad at the brawn. Since you have shaped a gown for me Among your summer flowers It's I'll repay you back again Among the winter showers. It's I'll repay you back again Among the winter showers. The new fallen snow shall be your shirt And lie your body next And the murk black rain shall be your coat And a wind gale at your breast. And the murk black rain shall be your coat And a wind gale at your breast. The steed that you shall ride upon Shall be the winter snell Well bridled with the norland wind And cold, sharp showers of hail. Well bridled with the norland wind And cold, sharp showers of hail. The hat that's be upon your head Shall be of the weather grey And when you come into my sight I'll wish you were away. And when you come into my sight I'll wish you were away. |
