The Maydens Came by Shirley Collins Lyrics

The maydens came when I was in my mother's bower
I have all that I would

The bailey beareth the bell away
The lily, the rose, the rose I lay

The silver is white, red is the gold
The robes they lay in fold

The bailey beareth the bell away
The lily, the rose, the rose I lay

And through the glass window shines the sun
How should I love and I so young

The bailey beareth the bell away
The lily, the rose, the rose I lay
