Sumer is icumen in

 Sumer is icumen in,
   lhude sing cuccu.
 Groweth sed and bloweth med
   and springth the wode nu.
 Sing cuccu.

 Awe bleteth after lomb,
   lhouth after calve cu.
 Bulluc sterteth, bucke verteth,
   murrie sing cuccu.

 Cuccu, cuccu,
 wel singes thu cuccu,
 ne swik thu naver nu.
