2. Osme's song  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: English 
  Hither! hither!
  O come hither !
Lads and lasses come and see!
  Trip it neatly,
  Foot it featly,
O'er the grassy turf to me!

  Here are bowers
  Hung with flowers,
Richly curtain'd halls for you !
  Meads for rovers,
  Shades for lovers,
Violet beds, and pillows too !

  Purple heather
  You may gather 
Sandal-deep in seas of bloom!
  Pale-faced lily,
  Proud Sweet-Willy,
Gorgeous rose, and golden broom !

  Odorous blossoms
  For sweet bosoms,
Garlands green to bind the hair;
  Crowns and kirtles
  Weft of myrtles,
Youth may choose, and Beauty wear !

  Brightsome glasses
  For bright faces
Shine in ev'ry rill that flows;
  Every minute
  You look in it
Still more bright your beauly grows !

  Banks for sleeping,
  Nooks for peeping,
Glades for dancing, smooth and fine!
  Fruits delicious
  For who wishes,
Nectar, dew, and honey-wine !

  Hither! hither!
  O come hither !
Lads and lasses come and see !
  Trip it neatly,
  Foot it featly,
O'er the grassy turf to me !
