Somerset.


Here the rosebuds in June and the violets are blowing,

The small birds they warble from every green bough;

Here the pink and the lily,

And the daffadowndilly,

To adorn and perfume the sweet meadows in June;

'Tis all before the plough the fat oxen go slow;

But the lads and the lasses to the sheep-shearing go.

Sussex Song.
