Flowers of the Forest Songtext
von Fairport Convention

I′ve heard them lilting
At our ewe-milking
And I've heard them lilting
Before light o′ day

Now they are mourning
For all time a-lilting
The flowers of the forest
Are all wede away


Sad they for the order
That sent them to the border
The English by guile
For once won the day

Now they are mourning
For all time a-lilting
The flowers of the forest
Are all wede away

I've heard them lilting
At our ewe-milking
And I've heard them lilting
Before light a-day


Now they are mourning
For all time a-lilting
The flowers of the forest
Are all wede away
