Come With Me ~ Alison Baird

Chorus
Come with me, oh come my beloved
unto the hill and the forest free
there shall be mirth and merry feasting
come, maiden fair, and dance with me.

Verse 1
High leaps the Hart, the Hind follows after
hark to the Dove crooning on the green bow
full is the forest with joy and with laughter
come, do not tarry, oh come with me now

Chorus

Verse 2
Ne'er did Lantern shine so brightly
than the full moon of the evening sky
nor marble fountain make such music
as the streams whispering lullaby.

Chorus

Verse 3
Better the Earth and the green root living
than the cold stone of the castle hall
and merry the company your keeping
drunk in the shade of the willow tree tall

Chorus

Verse 4
When you grow tired of Fairy Revels
unto the hill you may take your rest
moss for your pillow, the wildwood your chamber
slumbering sound on the green Earth's breast.

2x Chorus
