Cuckoo Song

By Anonymous

13th Century

SUMER is icumen in,
         Lhude sing cuccu!
Groweth sed, and bloweth med,
         And springth the wude nu--
         Sing cuccu!

Awe bleteth after lomb,
         Lhouth after calve cu;
Bulluc sterteth, bucke verteth,
         Murie sing cuccu!

Cuccu, cuccu, well singes thu, cuccu:
         Ne swike thu naver nu;
Sing cuccu, nu, sing cuccu,
         Sing cuccu, sing cuccu, nu!
