"Sumer Is Icumen In"

Sumer is icumen in
Loude sing cuckou!
Groweth seed and bloweth meed
And springth the wode now
Sing cuckou!
Ewe bleteth after lamb
Loweth after calve cow
Bulloc sterteth, bucke verteth
Merye sing cuckou!

Cuckou, cuckou
Wel singest thou cuckou
Ne swik thou never now!

Sumer is icumen in
Loude sing cuckou!
Groweth seed and bloweth meed
And springth the wode now
Sing cuckou!
Ewe bleteth after lamb
Loweth after calve cow
Bulloc sterteth, bucke verteth
Merye sing cuckou!

Cuckou, cuckou
Wel singest thou cuckou
Ne swik thou never now!

Sumer is icumen in
Loude sing cuckou!
Groweth seed and bloweth meed
And springth the wode now
Sing cuckou!
Ewe bleteth after lamb
Loweth after calve cow
Bulloc sterteth, bucke verteth
Merye sing cuckou!

Cuckou, cuckou
Wel singest thou cuckou
Ne swik thou never now!
Cuckou, cuckou
Wel singest thou cuckou
Ne swik thou never now!
