[01:10]When in the springtime of the year
[01:14]When the trees are crowned with leaves
[01:19]When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew
[01:23]Are dressed in ribbons fair
[01:27]When owls call the breathless moon
[01:30]In the blue veil of the night
[01:35]The shadows of the trees appear
[01:39]Amidst the lantern light
[04:38][04:23][02:46][01:43]Weve been rambling all the night
[04:42][04:26][02:50][01:46]And some time of this day
[04:46][04:30][02:55][01:51]Now returning back again
[04:50][04:34][02:58][01:55]We bring a garland gay
[02:15]Who will go down to those shady groves
[02:19]And summon the shadows there
[02:23]And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms
[02:26]In the springtime of the year
[02:30]The songs of birds seem to fill the wood
[02:35]That when the fiddler plays
[02:39]All their voices can be heard
[02:42]Long past their woodland days
[03:50]And so they linked their hands and danced
[03:54]Round in circles and in rows
[03:58]And so the journey of the night descends
[04:03]When all the shades are gone
[04:07]"A garland gay we bring you here
[04:10]And at your door we stand
[04:14]It is a sprout well budded out
[04:18]The work of our lords hand"
