ralph vaughan williams - good-bye lyrics

oh see how thick the goldcup flowers
are lying in field and lane
with dandelions to tell the hours
that never are told again
oh may i squire you round the meads
and pick you posies g+y?
+ ’twill do no harm to take my arm
“you may, young man, you may.”

ah, spring was sent for lass and lad
’tis now the blood runs gold
and man and maid had best be glad
before the world is old
what flowers to+day may flower to+morrow
but never as good as new
+ suppose i wound my arm right round +
“’tis true, young man, ’tis true.”

some lads there are, ’tis shame to say
that only court to thieve
and once they bear the bloom away
’tis little enough they leave
then keep your heart for men like me
and safe from trustless chaps
my love is true and all for you
“perhaps, young man, perhaps.”
oh, look in my eyes, then, can you doubt?
+ why, ’tis a mile from town
how green the grass is all about!
we might as well sit down
+ ah, life, what is it but a flower?
why must true lovers sigh?
be kind, have pity, my own, my pretty, +
“good+bye, young man, good+bye.”
