You have been fresh and green
You have been filled
With flowers
And you the walks have been
Where maids have spent
Their hours
You've heard them sweetly sing
And seen them in
A round
Each virgin like a spring
With honeysuckles
Crowned
But now we see none here
Whose silvery feet
Did tread
And with dishevelled hair
Adorned this smoother
Mead
Like unthrifts, having spent
Your stock and needy
Grown
You're left here to lament
Your poor estates
Alone
You have been fresh and green
Ye have been filled
With flowers
And you the walks have been
Where maids have spent
Their hours
You've heard them sweetly sing
And seen them in
A round
Each virgin like a spring
With honeysuckles
Crowned
