Lyrics: John Milton
O'er the smooth enamelled green,
Where no print of step hath been,
Follow me as I sing,
And touch the warbled string.
Under this shady roof
Of branching elm star-proof,
Follow me and sing.
I will bring you where she sits,
Clad in splendour as befits
Her deity.
Such a rural queen
All Arcadia hath not seen.
O'er the smooth enamelled green,
Where no print of step hath been,
Follow me as I sing,
And touch the warbled string.
Under this shady roof
Of branching elm star-proof,
Follow me and sing.
I will bring you where she sits,
Clad in splendour as befits
Her deity.
Such a rural queen
All Arcadia hath not seen.
