The meadowsweet


The weeds beside the hedge[s] danced
Like lots of drunken men
Then rested till a breeze ran bye
& off they went agen
The meadowsweet in darksome green
Shone in the merry light
Till winds turned up their lappet leaves
& then they changed to white
So turns the maidens face to hear
The mellancholy song
That comes with full as sad a tune
From old dames merry tongue
