Merry Margaret
As midsummer flower
Gentle as falcon
Or hawk of the tower:
With solace and gladness
Much mirth and no madness
All good and no badness;
So joyously
So maidenly
So womanly
Her demeaning
In every thing
Far, far passing
That I can indite
Or suffice to write
Of Merry Margaret
As midsummer flower
Gentle as falcon
Or hawk of the tower
As patient and still
And as full of good will
As fair Isaphill
Coliander
Sweet pomander
Good Cassander;
Steadfast of thought
Well made, well wrought
Far may be sought
Ere that ye can find
So courteous, so kind
As merry Margarеt
This midsummer flower
Gentlе as falcon
Or hawk of the tower
Merry Margaret was written by John Skelton & Hubert Parry.
