Each day you pass the village green
But seldom look my way
Each day I sit just in between

The words I want to say

Chorus:

My love I've viewed you from afar
I'd woo you if I could
Meet me tonight by the miller's stream

'Neath mossy willowood

I'll bring you wine and the velvet black rose

To adorn your tussled hair
We'll dream and as the evening goes
Forget our every care


Chorus


I'll bring you scarves of eastern silk
And raiments laced with gold
To grace your skin as white as milk

And shield you from the cold

Chorus


While woodland's sleeping
No-one is peeping

Just moonbeams leaping
Tonight


So wear you clouts of satin fine
And let your hair hang low
The leaf green nymph a spell will bind

To never let you go

Chorus
