flowers of the forest

Lyrics

i've heard them lilting, at our ewe-milking, and i've heard them lilting, before light o' day, now they are mourning, for all time lamenting, the flowers of the forest, are all wede away, sad they for the order, that sent them to the border, the english by guile, for once won the day, now they are mourning, for all time lamenting, the flowers of the forest, are all wede away, i've heard them lilting, at our ewe-milking, and i've heard them lilting, before light a-day, now they are mourning, for all time lamenting, the flowers of the forest, are all wede away
