Won't you help support DayPoems? Blow Away the Morning DewBy Anonymous17th CenturyChild Ballad 112 There was a farmer's son, Kept sheep all on the hill; And he walk'd out one May morning To see what he could kill. Chorus And sing blow away the morning dew The dew, and the dew. Blow away the morning dew, How sweet the winds do blow. He looked high, he looked low, He cast an under look; And there he saw a fair pretty maid Beside the wat'ry brook. Chorus Cast over me my mantle fair And pin it o'er my gown; And, if you will, take hold my hand, And I will be your own. Chorus If you come down to my father's house Which is walled all around, And, you shall have a kiss from me And twenty thousand pound. Chorus He mounted on a milk white steed And she upon another; And then they rode along the lane Like sister and like brother. Chorus As they were riding on alone, They saw some pooks of hay. O is not this a very pretty place For girls and boys to play? Chorus But when they came to her father's gate, So nimble she popped in: And said: There is a fool without And here's a maid within. Chorus We have a flower in our garden, We call it Marigold: And if you will not when you may, You shall not when you wolde. Chorus DayPoems Poem No. 2548 Comment on DayPoems?
