With a hey! and a hi! and a hey-ho rhyme!
O the shepherd lad / He is ne'er so glad / As when he pipes, in the blossom-time, / So rare!
While Kate picks by, yet looks not there.
So rare! so rare! / _With a hey! and a hi! and a ho! _ / _The grasses curdle where the daisies blow! _
With a hey! and a hi! and a hey-ho vow!
Then he sips her face / At the sweetest place -- / And ho! how white is the hawthorn now! -- / So rare! -- / And the daisied world rocks round them there.
So rare! so rare! / _With a hey! and a hi! and a ho! _ / _The grasses curdle where the daisies blow! _
