SPRING
When daisies pied and violets blue, 1
And ladysmocks all silver-white,
And cuckoobuds of yellow hue
Do paint the meadows with delight,
The cuckoo then, on every tree, 5 [5-9]
Mocks married men; for thus sings he,
Cuckoo!
Cuckoo, cuckoo: O word of fear,
Unpleasing to a married ear!
When shepherds pipe on oaten straws, 10
And merry larks are ploughmen's clocks,
When turtles tread, and rooks, and daws,
And maidens bleach their summer smocks
The cuckoo then, on every tree,
Mocks married men; for thus sings he, 15
Cuckoo!
Cuckoo, cuckoo: Oh word of fear,
Unpleasing to a married ear!
WINTER
When icicles hang by the wall
And Dick the shepherd blows his nail, 20
And Tom bears logs into the hall,
And milk comes frozen home in pail,
When blood is nipped, and ways be foul,
Then nightly sings the staring owl,
Tu-who! 25
Tu-whit! To-who: a merry note,
While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.
When all aloud the wind doe blow,
And coughing drowns the parson's saw,
And birds sit brooding in the snow, 30
And Marian's nose looks red and raw,
When roasted crabs hiss in the bowl,
Then nightly sings the staring owl,
Tu-who!
Tu-whit! Tu-who: a merry note 35
While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.
