    “Farewell to call winter, Summer come at last,”

    Share Share Post
    I
    Farewell to call winter,
    Summer come at last,
    Nothing have I gained,
    But my true-love I have lost,
    I will sing and I will be happy
    Like the birds upon the tree,
    For since he decieved me,
    I will care no more for him
    II
    Let him go, let him tarry,
    Let him sink or let him swim,
    He does not care for me,
    Nor I do not care for him,
    He can go and get another,
    That I hope he will enjoy,
    For I am going to marry,
    A far off nicer boy.
