Green Hazel

from Faire Ones by Rion Sanura

about

A dirty madrigal.

lyrics

O gather green hazel from under the tree
The taste of the nut is a pleasure so dear
And to lie in the shade of an afternoon free
Is the sweetest of life any time of the year.

O simmer green hazel, to make a strong brew
And stir it so gently no drop splashes out
Or tincture of hazel shall only stir you
And all your fine plans pass you by with a shout.

O turn the green hazel the thatch for to lay
And set it in tight with a shove and a prod
Thereby under the thatch all the better to play
Such joy may we have of a green hazel rod.

O garland green hazel for crowns in the spring
Braid catkins in sunlight and deck ev'ry room
So murmurs and songs from each valley shall ring:
The springtime is coming, green hazel's in bloom!

Tra la the green hazel I sing for to praise,
So strong and so fair a green tree!
Green hazel may bend any number of ways
O bend the green hazel to me!
