SONG by THOMAS DELONEY

First Line: THE PRIMROSE IN THE GREEN FOREST
Last Line: UNDER THE GREENWOOD TREE.
Subject(s): FLOWERS;

The primrose in the green forest,
The violets, they be gay;
The double daisies, and the rest
That trimly decks the way,
Doth move the spirits with brave delights,
Who Beauty's darlings be:
With hey tricksy, trim-go-tricksy,
Under the greenwood tree.
