Twiddle me a rhyme
Twiddle me up a rhyme, says Sally,
Striding by my side;
One to make me feel so jolly,
On this Eastertide.
Sally and I are out a-walking,
Through this April morn;
In nature only now a-waking,
To the year new born.
Arm in arm through fields we wander,
Soft in April rain;
Bound in Winter's ice no longer;
Free of Winter's pain.
Through the churchyard gate we saunter:
Flowers tight in hand;
To the mound where lies our daughter:
Sister to the land.
Twiddle me up a rhyme, sighs Sally,
Though no love be gone,
Time's enough since harvest sorrow,
'Tis planting time again.
