Gather round our maiden Queen!

Hark! the woods are ringing, ringing,

Thrushes trill and wood-doves coo;

All the birds are singing, singing,

Shall not we be singing, too?

Columbine, the airy lady,

Nods a greeting, light and free;

Where the leaves are cool and shady,

Violets spring for you and me;

Clover-top his red is showing,
