And the huntsman sings “Halloo!”
And the greenwood saith: “Peewit! Cuckoo!”
Come hither, love, to me.
SWAINS AND ALISOUN
With turtle and plover,
Come back to your lover.
Come hither, love, to me.
ALISOUN
Now, lads, the chorus!
[The Swains and Alisoun, joined by several other pilgrims,
repeat chorus.]
