1. Now is my Cloris fresh as May,
All clad in green and flowers gay:
Fa la la.
O, must I think August were near,
That harvest joy might soon appear:
Fa la la.
2. But she keeps May throughout the year
And August never comes the near:
Fa la la.
Yet I will hope, though she be May,
August will come another day:
Fa la la.
