  The poore soule sate sighinge
  by a sickamoore tree,
  Singe willo, willo, willo!
  With his hand in his bosom, and his heade upon his knee:
  O willo, willo, willo, willo!
  O willo, willo, willo, willo!
  Shall be my gareland.
  Singe all a greene willo, willo, willo, willo!
  Aye me the greene willo must be my gareland.
