Specter in the Frost

If she had been the Mistletoe And I had been the Rose- How gay upon your table My velvet life to close! Since I am of the Druid- And she is of the dew- I’ll deck Tradition’s buttonhole- And send the Rose to you.

Wassail, wassail Our wassail bowl Our wassail bowl A jolly wassail-bowl, A wassail of good ale, Well fare the butler's soul, That setteth this to sale; Our jolly wassail. Good dame, here at your door Our wassail we begin, We are all maidens poor, We pray now let us in, With our wassail. Our wassail we do fill With apples and with spice, Then grant us your good will To taste here once or twice Of our wassail. If any maidens be Here dwelling in this house, They kindly will agree To take a full carouse, Of our wassail. But here they let us stand All freezing in the cold: Good master give command To enter and be bold, With our wassail. This is our merry night Of choosing king and queen, Then be it your delight That something may be seen, In our wassail. And now we must be gone To seek out more good cheer, Where bounty will be shown, And we have found it here, With our wassail.

Greensleeves 04:35
Alas my love you do me wrong To cast me off discourteously For I have loved you well and long Delighting in your company Greensleeves was all my joy Greensleeves was my delight Greensleeves was my heart of gold And who but my Lady Greensleeves Your vows you’ve broken like my heart Oh why did you so enrapture me Now I remain in a world apart But my heart remains in captivity I have been ready at your hand To grant whatever you would crave; I have both wagered life and land Your love and goodwill for to have. If you intend thus to disdain It does the more enrapture me And even so I still remain A lover in captivity My men were clothed all in green And they did ever wait on thee All this was galant to be seen And yet thou would not love me Thou could desire no earthly thing But still thou had it readily Thy music still to play and sing And yet thou would not love me
