When Daisies Pied And Violets Blue

Song Lyrics & Words

When daisies pied, and violets blue,
And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue:
And lady-smocks all silver white,
Do paint the meadow with delight.

The cuckoo then on every tree,
Mocks married men, for this sings he,
Cuckoo; cuckoo, cuckoo: O word of fear,
Appeasing to a married ear.

When daises pied
When daisies pied, and violets blue,
And lady-smocks all silver white ,And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue:
Do paint the meadow with delight.
The cuckoo then on every tree,
Mocks married men, Mocks married men for thus sings he,
Cuckoo; cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoocuckoo: o word of fear o word of fear
Appeasing to a married ear. Appeasing to a married ear.

When shepards pipe on oaten straw and marry larks are plough mens clocks
and turtles tread rooks and draws and maidens bleach there summer smocks.
