The snows, they melt the soonest when the wind begins to sing The corn, it ripens fastest when the frosts are settlin in And when a lover tells me that my face shell soon forget Before we part, Ill wage a crown shes bound to follow yet
The snows, they melt the soonest when the wind begins to sing The swallow flies without a thought as long as it is spring But when spring goes and winter blows, my love, she will be fain For all her pride to follow me across the raging main
The snows, they melt the soonest when the wind begins to sing The bee that flew when summer shone, in winter cannot sting Ive seen a lovers anger melt between the night and the morn But its surely not a harder thing to melt a womans scorn
So dont you bid me farewell, no farewell Ill receive For you will lie with me, my love, then kiss and take your leave Ill wait here til the moorcock calls, and the martin takes the wing For the snows, they melt the soonest when the winds begin to sing
The snows, they melt the soonest when the winds begin to sing The corn, it ripens fastest when the frosts are settlin in And when a lover tells me that my face shell soon forget Before we part, Ill wage a crown shes bound to follow yet
