1 Sweetest spring, she cometh now,
Primrose wreath about her brow;
Birds do sing at early dawn,
That the fairest spring is born.
R: With dancing and with singing,
The merry May-bells ringing,
Fair maidens garlands bringing,
To welcome in the spring.
2 Daisies and the crocus neat,
Come before her as is meet;
Larks, for that the spring is nigh,
Carol merrily on high.
R: With dancing…
3 Morning followeth after night,
Sadness flies at spring's delight;
Lo, to her we gladly sing,
She, the welcome jocund spring.
R: With dancing…
