First Line: The flutes and fiddles are sounding
Last Line: And weeping many a tear.
Subject(s): Marriage; Weddings; Husbands; Wives
THE flutes and fiddles are sounding,
The trumpets ringing clear;
In the wedding dance is bounding
My heart's own mistress dear.
The shawms and kettle-drums vying
In noisy chorus I hear;
But meanwhile good angels are sighing
And weeping many a tear.
