The Mummers' Dance (Remix)

Loreena McKennitt - The Mummers' Dance (Lyric)

[Verse 1] When in the springtime of the year When the trees are crowned with leaves When the ash and oak and the birch and yew Are dressed in ribbons fair When owls call the breathless moon In the blue veil of the night The shadows of the trees appear Amidst the lantern light [Chorus] We've been rambling all the night And some time of this day Now returning back again We bring a garland gay

[Verse 2] Who will go down to those shady groves And summon the shadows there And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms In the springtime of the year The songs of birds seem to fill the wood That when the fiddler plays All their voices can be heard Long past their woodland days
