arthur bliss - the shepherds' holyday lyrics

Loading...

thus, thus begin the yearly rites
are due to pan on these bright nights;
his morn now riseth and invites
to sports, to dances, and delights:
all envious and profane, away
this is the shepherds’ holyday

strew, strew the glad and smiling ground
with every flower, yet not confound:
the primrose drop, the spring’s own spouse
bright day’s+eyes and the lips of cows;
the garden+star, the queen of may
the rose, to crown the holyday

drop, drop, you violets; change your hues
now red, now pale, as lovers use;
and in your death go out as well
as when you lived unto the smell:
that from your odour all may say
this is the shepherds’ holyday
