Provider:Fr. Pierre Demer /談德義神父

Under the green wood tree 1
Who loves to lie with me
And tunn his merry note [3-4]
Unto the sweet bird's throat,
Come hither, come hither, come hither: 5
Here shall he see
no enemy
 
But winter and rough weather.
Who doth ambition shun
And loves to live i' the sun, 10
Seeking the food he eats,
And pleased with what he gets,
Come hither, come hither, come hither:
Here shall he see
no enemy 15
But winter and rough weather.
