Verse:
-4 -4 -6 -4 5 -4 4 4 4
In the spring- time of the year
-3"' -3"' 5 5 5 -4 -4
When the trees are crowned with leaves
4 -4 -4 -6 -4 -4 5 -4 4 4 4
When the ash and oak and the birch and yew
-3' 5 5 5 -4 -4
Are dressed in rib-bons fair
-4 -4 -6 -4 5 -4 4 4
When owls call the breath-less moon
4 -3' 5 5 5 -4 -4
In the blue veil of the night
4 -4 -6 -4 -4 5 -4 4 4
The sha-dows of the trees ap-pear
-3' 5 5 5 -4 -4
A-midst the lan-turn light
Chorus: -6 -8 -8 8 -8 7
We've been rambling all the night
-7 7 -7 -7 -7 -6
And some time of this day
6 -6 -8 -8 -8 8 -8 7
Now re- turn-ing back a-gain
-7 7 -7 7 -7 -6
We bring a gar-land gay
Verse 2 Who'll go down to those shady groves
And summon the shadows there
And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms
In the springtime of the year
Songs of birds seem to fill the wood
That when the fiddler plays
All their voices can be heard
Long past their woodland days
Verse 3 And so they linked their hands and danced
Round in circles and in rows
And so the journey of the night descends
When all the shades are gone
A garland gay we bring you here
And at your door we stand
It is a sprout well budded out
The work of our Lord's hand
