Ye Shepherds Tell Me
Ye Shep-herds tell me, tell me have you seen, have you seen
My Flora pass this way?
In shape and feature beauty's queen.
In pastoral, in pastoral array
Shepherds tell me, tell me have you seen, have you seen
My Flora pass this way?
Have you seen, tell me Shepherds have you seen, tell me have you seen
My Flora pass this way.
A wreath around her head, around her head she wore
Carnation, lilly, lilly, rose;
And in her hand a crook she bore,
And sweets her breath compose.
Shepherds tell me, tell me have you seen, have you seen
My Flora pass this way?
Have you seen, tell me Shepherds have you seen, tell me have you seen
My Flora pass this way.
The beauteous, the beauteous wreath that decks, that decks her head,
Forms her description, her description true.
Hands lily white,
Lips crimson red, and cheeks of rosy, rosy hue.
