The hinds are feeding upon the hill,

And the hares on the fallow lea;

Awake, awake, Love Meenie!

Birds are singing in every tree;

And roses you'll find on your window-sill

To scent the morning air;

Awake, awake, Love Meenie,

For the world is shining fair!

O who is the mistress of bird and flower?

Ben Clebrig knows, I ween!
