Текст песни Searching for Lambs - Live in Goderich, Ontario / 2023 - Loreena McKennitt

As I went out one May morning
One May morning betide
I met a maid, from home had strayed
Just as the sun did shine

What makes your rise so soon, my dear?
Your journey to pursue?
Your pretty little feet that tread so neat
Strike off the morning dew

I'm going to feed my father's flock
His young and tender lambs
That over hill and over dale
Lie waiting for their dams

O stay, O stay, my handsome maid
And rest a moment here
For there is none but you alone
That I do love so dear

How gloriously the sun doth shine
How pleasant is the air
I'd rather rest on my true love's breast
Than any other where

Now thou art mine and I am thine
No man shall uncomfort thee
With wedded bands, we'll join our hands
And married, we shall be
