Cuckoo Song
by Anonymous
Sumer is icumen in,
Lhude sing cuccu;
Groweth sed and bloweth med
And Springth the wude nu.
Sing cuccu!
Awe bleteth after lomb,
Lhouth after calve cu;
Bulluc sterteth, bucke verteth;
Murie sing cuccu.
Cuccu, cuccu,
Wel singes thu, cuccu,
Ne swik thu naver nu.
Sing cuccu nu! Sing cuccu!
Sing cuccu! Sing cuccu nu!
GLOSSARY: lhude = loud. awe = ewe. lhouth = loweth. sterteth = leaps. swike = cease. |
