Give up thy milk to her who calls
Language: English
Give up thy milk to her who calls Across the low green hills of Heaven And stream-cool meads of Paradise ! Across the low green hills of Heaven How sweet to hear the milking call, The milking call i' the meads of Heaven: Stream-cool the meads of Paradise, Across the low green hills of Heaven. Give up thy milk to her who calls, Sweet voiced amid the Starry Seven, Give up thy milk to her who calls !
