When in the springtime of the year 
When the trees are crowned with leaves 
When the ash & oak, & the birch & 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 

We've been rambling all the night 
And some time of this day 
Now returning back again 
We bring a garland gay  

And so they linked their hands & danced 
Round in circles & 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 

We've been rambling all the night 
And some time of this day 
Now returning back again 
We bring a garland gay
