St. Crispin's Day

Now winter's cloak has covered all
Snow on the briars and trees so tall
Forget not the pledge we made in May
We were to wed on St. Crispin's Day

(Chorus:)
Oh what made our love go astray
We were to marry on St. Crispin's Day

Now the redwing has crossed our shores
Robin is feeding on hips and haws
Let not your love turn wintery too
Icy as the seasons do

(Chorus)

Now all the autumn leaves are shed
Hedgehog's asleep in mossy bed
The cold winds have blown my hopes away
And left me forlorn on St. Crispin's Day

(Chorus)
