Time o'day
Language: English
What be time o'day Lass, What be time o'day ? Meadow-clocks a'blowing All along the way ! Pluck them as you pass Lass, Blow their down away, Tell if you can Lass What be the time o'day ? Now the shadows flit Lass, Sundown in the west, Toil o'day be over, Comes the hour of rest : Time for lover's meetings, Loiterings in the lane ; Tell me, if it be Lass Time to kiss again ?
