Each day you pass the village green But seldom look my way Each day I sit just in between The words I want to say (Chorus:) My love I've viewed you from afar I'd woo you if I could Meet me tonight by the miller's stream 'Neath mossy willowood I'll bring you wine and the velvet black rose To adorn your tussled hair We'll dream and as the evening goes Forget our every care (Chorus) I'll bring you scarves of eastern silk And raiments laced with gold To grace your skin as white as milk And shield you from the cold (Chorus) While woodland's sleeping No-one is peeping Just moonbeams leaping Tonight So wear you clouts of satin fine And let your hair hang low The leaf green nymph a spell will bind To never let you go (Chorus)
