PACK, clouds, away, and welcome day,

With night we banish sorrow;

Sweet air blow soft, mount larks aloft

To give my Love good-morrow!

Wings from the wind to please her mind,

Notes from the lark I'll borrow;

Bird, prune thy wing, nightingale sing,

To give my Love good-morrow;

To give my Love good-morrow,

Notes from them both I'll borrow.

Wake from thy nest, Robin-redbreast, / Sing, birds, in every furrow; / And from each hill, let music shrill / Give my fair Love good-morrow! / Blackbird and thrush in every bush, / Stare, linnet, and cock-sparrow! / You pretty elves, amongst yourselves, / Sing my fair Love good-morrow; / To give my Love good-morrow / Sing, birds, in every furrow!
