great things - john ireland lyrics

sweet cyder is a great thing
a great thing to me
spinning down to weymouth town
by ridgway thirstily
and maid and mistress summoning
who tend the hostelry:
o cyder is a great thing
a great thing to me!

the dance it is a great thing
a great thing to me
with candles lit and partners fit
for night*long revelry
and going home when day*dawning
peeps pale upon the lea:
o dancing is a great thing
a great thing to me!

love is, yea, a great thing
a great thing to me
when, having drawn across the lawn
in darkness silently
a figure flits like one a*wing
out from the nearest tree:
o love is, yes, a great thing
a great thing to me!
will these be always great things
great things to me? . .
let it befall that one will call
“soul, i have need of thee”:
what then? joy*jaunts, impassioned flings
love, and its ecstasy
will always have been great things
great things to me!
