[00:00.00]The Mummer's Dance - Laura Simone
[00:19.48]When in the springtime of the year
[00:23.41]When the trees are crowned with leaves
[00:27.32]When the ash and oak and the birch and yew
[00:31.63]Are dressed in ribbons fair
[00:35.69]When owls call the breathless moon
[00:39.36]In the blue veil of the night
[00:43.70]The shadows of the trees appear
[00:47.96]Amidst the lantern light
[00:51.98]We've been rambling all the night
[00:55.81]And some time of this day
[01:00.00]Now returning back again
[01:03.83]We bring a garland gay
[01:16.31]Who will go down to those shady groves
[01:19.99]And summon the shadows there
[01:24.18]And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms
[01:27.84]In the springtime of the year
[01:32.15]The songs of birds seem to fill the wood
[01:36.36]That when the fiddler plays
[01:40.37]All their voices can be heard
[01:43.86]Long past their woodland days
[01:48.49]We've been rambling all the night
[01:52.25]And some time of this day
[01:56.37]Now returning back again
[02:00.34]We bring a garland gay
[02:36.57]And so they linked their hands and danced
[02:40.41]Round in circles and in rows
[02:44.68]And so the journey of the night descends
[02:48.69]When all the shades are gone
[02:52.80]A garland gay we bring you here
[02:56.63]And at your door we stand
[03:01.04]It is a sprout well budded out
[03:04.88]The work of our lord's hand
[03:09.17]We've been rambling all the night
[03:12.89]And some time of this day
[03:17.14]Now returning back again
[03:20.86]We bring a garland gay
[03:25.23]We've been rambling all the night
[03:29.09]And some time of this day
[03:33.30]Now returning back again
[03:37.04]We bring a garland gay
