                                        Loreena McKennitt -  The Mummers` Dance слова песни 
                                    
                                    
                             
                            
                            
                                
     
 
                                                                     
When in the springtime of the year 
When the trees are crowned with leaves 
When the ash and oak, and the birch and yew 
Are dressed in ribbons fair 
 
When owls call the breathless moon 
In the blue veil of the night  
The shadows of the trees appear 
Amidst the lantern light 
 
We`ve been rambling all the night 
And some time of this day 
Now returning back again 
We bring a garland gay 
 
Who will go down to those shady groves 
And summon the shadows there 
And tie a ribbon on those sheltering arms 
In the springtime of the year 
 
The songs of birds seem to fill the wood 
That when the fiddler plays 
All their voices can be heard 
Long past their woodland days 
 
And so they linked their hands and danced 
Round in circles and in rows 
And so the journey of the night descends 
When all the shades are gone 
 
"A garland gay we bring you here 
And at your door we stand 
It is a sprout well budded out 
The work of our Lord`s hand"
