Milking Time

Heard ye the maidens Went through the meadows, Early, O, early, While yet the dew was Wet on the grass? Heard ye the milk-maids Singing and singing? 'Cushy cow bonny let down your milk, And I will give you a gown of silk, A gown of silk asnd a silver tee, If you will let down your milk to me.' Hear ye the maidens, Over the meadows, Where the dew gathers, Where shadows lengthen, Hear ye the milk-maids' Aery, hushed voices Singing, ah, singing? 'Cushy cow bonny let down your milk, And I will give you a gown of silk, A gown of silk asnd a silver tee, If you will let down your milk to me.' Morning and evening, In the green meadows Hear ye the milk-maids And their sweet singing?
