A song in a cornfield / Where corn begins to fall, / Where reapers are reaping, / Reaping one, reaping all. / Sing pretty Lettice, / Sing Rachel, sing May; / Only Marian cannot sing / While her sweetheart's away.
Where is he gone to / And why does he stay? / He came across the green sea / But for a day, / Across the deep green sea / To help with the hay. / His hair was curly yellow / And his eyes were gray, / He laughed a merry laugh / And said a sweet say. / Where is he gone to / That he comes not home? / To-day or to-morrow / He surely will come. / Let him haste to joy / Lest he lag for sorrow, / For one weeps to-day / Who'll not weep to-morrow:
