Translation

Language: English  after the English 
Haste thee, nymph, and bring with thee
Jest, and youthful Jollity,
Quips, and cranks, and wanton wiles,
Nods, and becks, and wreathed smiles,
Young and old come forth to play
In a sunshine holyday.

Composition:

    Set to music by Frank La Forge (1879 - 1953), "Pastorale", published 1930 [ voice and piano ], New York: Galaxy Music Corp.
