[00:07.69]The Mummers' Dance (Loreena McKennitt)
[00:39.26]
[01:08.61]
[01:11.02]When in the springtime of the year
[01:14.98]When the trees are crowned with leaves
[01:19.12]When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew
[01:23.17]Are dressed in ribbons fair
[01:26.30]
[01:27.17]When owls call the breathless moon
[01:31.00]In the blue veil of the night
[01:35.17]The shadows of the trees appear
[01:39.02]Amidst the lantern light
[01:42.89]
[01:43.38]We've been rambling all the night
[01:47.21]And some time of this day
[01:51.39]Now returning back again
[01:55.00]We bring a garland gay
[01:59.58]
[02:15.29]Who will go down to those shady groves
[02:19.12]And summon the shadows there
[02:23.13]And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms
[02:26.79]In the springtime of the year
[02:30.01]
[02:30.95]The songs of birds seem to fill the wood
[02:34.66]That when the fiddler plays
[02:39.00]All their voices can be heard
[02:42.61]Long past their woodland days
[02:46.20]
[02:47.18]We've been rambling all the night
[02:51.02]And some time of this day
[02:55.13]Now returning back again
[02:58.73]We bring a garland gay
[03:03.27]
[03:50.86]And so they linked their hands and danced
[03:54.76]Round in circles and in rows
[03:58.91]And so the journey of the night descends
[04:02.69]When all the shades are gone
[04:05.80]
[04:07.00]"A garland gay we bring you here
[04:10.71]And at your door we stand
[04:14.67]It is a sprout well budded out
[04:18.78]The work of our Lord's hand"
[04:21.71]
[04:22.79]We've been rambling all the night
[04:26.59]And some time of this day
[04:30.47]Now returning back again
[04:34.15]We bring a garland gay
[04:38.00]
[04:38.70]We've been rambling all the night
[04:42.48]And some time of this day
[04:46.46]Now returning back again
[04:50.28]We bring a garland gay
[04:58.18]
[05:10.94]
[05:41.30][THE END]
