dancing at whitsun - maddy prior & tim hart lyrics

[verse 1: tim hart]
it’s fifty long springtimes
since she was a bride
but still, you may see her
at each whitsuntide
in a dress of white linen
and ribbons of green
as green as her memories of loving

[verse 2: tim hart]
the feet that were nimble
tread carefully now
as gentle a measure as age do allow
through groves of white blossoms
by fields of young corn
where once she was pledged to her true love
[verse 3: tim hart]
the fields they stand empty
the hedgеs grow free
no young men to turn them or pastures go see
thеy are gone where
the forests of oak trees before have gone
to be wasted in battle

[verse 4: tim hart]
down from the green farmlands
and from their loved ones
marched husbands and brothers
and fathers and sons
there’s a fine roll of honour
where the maypole once stood
and the ladies go dancing at whitsun

[verse 5: tim hart]
there’s a straight row of houses
in these latter days
all covering the downs where the sheep used to graze
there’s a field of red poppies
a wreath from the queen
but the ladies remember at whitsun
and the ladies go dancing at whitsun
