The Devon Maid - Malcolm Martineau, Thomas Allen, Frank Bridge

Where be you going, you Devon Maid?

And what have ye there in the Basket?

Ye tight little fairy just fresh from the dairy

Will you give me some cream if I ask it?

I love your hills, and I love your dales

And I love your flocks a-bleating --

But O, on the heather to lie together

With both our hearts a-beating!

I’ll put your Basket all safe in the nook

Your shawl I’ll hang on the willow

And we will sigh in the daisy’s eye

And kiss on the grass green pillow
