Come you, Mary
Language: English
Come you, Mary, there's a dear! Mind no more the plaguy dairy! Milk can never match your white - Come you, Mary! All the music of my scythe Sang you in the heated meadow; And I turned for you, when fell Every shadow! Down with pails, and bring those lips (Rose leaves in the happy dairy) To the chestnut where we kiss - Come you, Mary!
