Fair Annet's song

John Woods Duke

One thing comes

And another thing goes;

Frosts in November

Drive away the rose;

Like a blowing ember...

The windflower blows

And drives away the snows.

It is sad to remember

And sorrowful to pray;

Let us laugh and be merry,

Who have seen today

The last of the cherry

And the first of the may;

And neither one will stay.
