Hares on the mountains: If all those young men

I. Holst

If all those young men were as rushes a-growing,

Then all those pretty maidens will get scythes go mowing;

With rifoldedee, Cal all the day, Rifolidee.

If all those young men were as hares on the mountains,

Then all those pretty maidens will get guns go hunting;

With rifoldedee, Cal all the day, Rifolidee.

If all those young men were as ducks in the water,

Then all those pretty maidens would soon follow after:

With rifoldedee, Cal all the day, Rifolidee.
