Norman the forester's song
E. Flower
The monk must arise when the matins ring,
The abbot may sleep to their chime;
But the yeoman must start when the bugles sing,
'Tis time, my hearts, 'tis time.
There's bucks and raes on Bilhope braes,
There's a herd in Shortwood Shaw;
But a lily white doe in the garden goes,
She's fairly worth them a'.
