I, she

I am a girl, she is a lass

As took a graidly fancy to thee

Dost tha' fear? Tha' mun not fear

She's took thee on for like to vex thee

Now to the soart, now to the soart

She knows fair well, she mun not fright thee

Canna tha' show me? Fair better to know her

Show me the key, show her the key



She's a lass and tha' art right

She needs a spot where she can rest in

I mun sit where I'll not be

So thinkin' thoughts or feel a guest in

Now to the soart, now to the soart

She'd fair be watching for the spring

I'll not be climbin' up

I'll only be callin', "Good morning"

And fair low I'll sing

Well done, Mary



I'll only walk around

Just like to see it for myself

If tha' canst 'low me visit

I'll speak low e'en to thyself

Tha'll not be bothered night and day

By wenches racing 'round

I'll but seem a silent dream

Standin' on the secret ground



I'd but smell the growing things

Count the roses 'gainst the wall

Hear thy babes when first they peck

Stretch my hands if they should fall

Or if tha' likes, I'll bring thee seeds

Or worms all in a mound

For tha'll have me for a friend

Tha'll be the first I found



I'm a lass, a trusty lass

That took a graidly fancy to thee

Canna tha' show me?

Fair well tha' dost know her

Show me tha' key

Show her tha' key



Well, I'm off then

But where you going?

Oh, I can't say

But I'll see the tomorrow, sure enough

And if you need me before then

Well, now that you and Robin is talkin

He always knows where I am

But can't him look for the key?

Oh, but that's why I'm leavin' Mary

A body can't find a thing in a crowd

Alright then, bye



And you'll be here to see it

Stand and breathe it all the day

Stoop and feel it, stop and hear it

Spring, I say



Oh no, look at, what was that?

Where did it, here it is, it's the key

It's the key to the garden

I found the key to the garden

It was right here

The door, but where's the door?

Mary Lennox, coming
