SONG OF THE GREENWOOD FAGOT.
Oh! a bonnie thing am I, when the woodman binds me up,
For he takes me with the green leaf and the tawny acorn cup;
He takes me in the forest, while the soft wind loiters through,
Where my branches bear the ringdove and my young bark drinks the dew.
For he takes me with the green leaf and the tawny acorn cup;
He takes me in the forest, while the soft wind loiters through,
Where my branches bear the ringdove and my young bark drinks the dew.
