Come To The Greenwood Tree

Title:     Come To The Greenwood Tree
Author: William Makepeace Thackeray [More Titles by 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!

[The end]
William Makepeace Thackeray's poem: Come To The Greenwood Tree
