Now welcom somer - Mediaeval Baebes

Now welcom sumer, with thy sonne softe

That hast this wintres weders over-shaker

And driven awey the longe nightes blake!

Seynt Valentyn, that art ful hy on lofte

Thus singen smale foules for thy sake

Now welcom sumer, with thy sonne softe

That hast this wintres weders over-shaker

(And driven awey the longe nightes blake!)

Wel han they cause for to gladen ofte

Sith ech of hem recovered hath his make

Ful blisful (may) thay singen whan they wake
