QUEEN ANNE by ANONYMOUS

First Line: LADY QUEEN ANNE SHE SITS IN THE SUN
Last Line: WHILE WE YOUNG MAIDENS WALK OUT AND IN
LADY Queen Anne she sits in the sun,
As fair as a lily, as white as a swan;
Come taste my lily, come smell my rose,
Which of my maidens do you choose?
The ball is ours and none of yours,
Go to the wood and gather flowers.
Cats and kittens now stay within,
While we young maidens walk out and in.
