CUCKOO SONG
Cuckoo, cuckoo!
In April skies were blue,
As every hedgerow knew;
And there was you.
In April
The cuckoo shows his bill,
With wind-flowers on vale and hill.
O, Love!
Sweet was April, sweet was April!
In April skies were blue,
As every hedgerow knew;
And there was you.
In April
The cuckoo shows his bill,
With wind-flowers on vale and hill.
O, Love!
Sweet was April, sweet was April!
Cuckoo, cuckoo!
In May his song was true,
And the world was new
For me and you.
In May
He sings all day,
All the long night that 's sweet with hay.
O, Love!
How good was May, how good was May
In May his song was true,
And the world was new
For me and you.
In May
He sings all day,
All the long night that 's sweet with hay.
O, Love!
How good was May, how good was May
Cuckoo, cuckoo!
Last June the roses grew
In many a place we knew,
I and you.
Last June the roses grew
In many a place we knew,
I and you.
