========================

  SUMMER is y-comen in,
    Loude` sing, cuckoo!
  Groweth seed and bloweth meed
    And spring'th the woode` now--
                    Sing cuckoo!

  Ewe` bleateth after lamb,
    Low'th after calfe` cow;
  Bullock starteth, bucke` farteth.
    Merry sing, cuckoo!

    Cuckoo, Cuckoo!
  Well sing'st thou, cuckoo:
    Ne swike thou never now!

  Sing cuckoo, now! Sing, cuckoo!
  Sing, cuckoo! Sing, cuckoo, now!
