Come you, Mary (Gale, set by E. Farrar) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Come you, Mary, there's a dear!
Mind no more the plaguy dairy!
Milk can never match your white -
Come you, Mary!

All the music of my scythe
Sang you in the heated meadow;
And I turned for you, when fell
Every shadow!

Down with pails, and bring those lips
(Rose leaves in the happy dairy)
To the chestnut where we kiss - 
Come you, Mary!
