Текст песни Ecce chorus virginum - Mediæval Bæbes

Here be maids dancing
In the spring days
April light lancing
Long level rays

In this fair valley
Fragrant and sweet
Is a bright alley
With lilies deep
Where the gay blackbird
Pipes all day long
Sweetness recordeth
The nightingale's song

Here come the virgins
Flower garlanded
But who shall sing then
That blaze of beauty
Love's secret store?
Tales of old sorrow
Grieve us no more

Peace to your piping
With linden bought
At beauty's altar
Pay ye your vows
