Ballads
  Come to the Greenwood Tree

by William Makepeace Thackeray

    Come to the greenwood tree,
    Come where the dark woods be,
    Dearest, O come with me!
Let us rove--O my love--O my love!

    Come--'tis the moonlight hour,
    Dew is on leaf and flower,
    Come to the linden bower,--
Let us rove--O my love--O my love!

Dark is the wood, and wide
Dangers, they say, betide;
But, at my Albert's side,
Nought I fear, O my love--O my love!

Welcome the greenwood tree,
Welcome the forest free,
Dearest, with thee, with thee,
Nought I fear, O my love--O my love!
