Ralph Vaughan Williams
Wake Now
Bring with you all the Nymphs that you can hear
Both of the rivers and the forests green:
And of the sea that neighbours to her near
All with gay garlands goodly well be seen
And let them also with them bring in hand
Another gay garland
For my fair love, of lilies and of roses
Bound truelove wise with a blue silk riband
And let them make great store of bridal posies
And let them eke bring store of other flowers
To deck the bridal bowers
Which done, do at her chambеr door await
For she will waken straight
The whilеs do you this song unto her sing
The woods shall … answer and your echo ring
