lammastide

• woman in white'ın 1.perdesinden bir şarkı. sözleri de şöyle:
  
  (suddenly villagers arrive.
  they are processing to the church with the fruits of the harvest.
  there is cider-drinking and dancing.
  hartright, laura and marian get immediately caught up in the festivities)
  
  all
  
  ripe golden fields and the
  bounty the bring
  reason enough for to dance and to sing
  dance for who knows if we'll live till its spring
  sing
  for it's lammastide
  
  (a young girl goes up to laura and gives her a corn dolly)
  
  all
  
  winds of the winter
  as sharp as a thorn
  soon will assault us
  as sure as we're born
  
  girl
  
  who will protect us?
  a doll made of corn
  
  all
  
  dance!
  for it's lammastide
  
  men
  
  please spend the season
  pressed in my arms
  rest in my arms
  
  women
  
  merrily, merrily
  
  we'll end the season
  wrapped in your arms
  
  men
  
  trapped in your arms
  
  women
  
  verily, verily
  
  all
  
  ripe golden fields and the
  bounty they bring
  reason enough for to dance and to sing
  dance for who knows if we'll live till it's spring
  sing
  for it's lammastide
  
  men
  
  please end the season
  pressed in my arms
  blessed in my arms
  
  women
  
  verily, verily
  although we may protest in your arms
  we'll nest in your arms
  
  all
  
  merrily, merrily
  
  after we harvest the fruits of the earth
  time for the home and a moment of mirth
  
  men
  
  time for a dance
  
  women
  
  and the chance of rebirth
  
  all
  
  sing
  for it's lammastide
  all
  
  ripe golden fields and the bounty they bring
  reason enough for to dance and to sing
  dance for who knows if we'll live till it's spring
  sing
  for it's lammastide!
  dance
  for it's lammastide!
  sing
  for it's lammastide!
  
  (at the end of the song,
  we see the same young girl being excluded from the festivities.
  her mother scolds her and she does not enter the church with the others)
  
  mother (to little girl)
  
  you'll wait outside till you see sense my girl
