Beauty Sat Bathing by a Spring Lyrics by Ernest John Moeran

Phyllida and Corydon

0

Beauty sat bathing by a spring
Where fairest shades did hide her;
The winds blew calm, the birds did sing
The cool streams ran beside her
My wanton thoughts enticed mine eye
To see what was forbidden:
But better memory said Fie;
So vain desire was chidden—
Hey nonny nonny O!
Hey nonny nonny!
Into a slumber then I fell
And fond imagination
Seemed to see, but could not tell
Her feature or her fashion:
But ev'n as babes in dreams do smile
And sometimes fall a-weeping
So I awaked as wise that while
As when I fell a-sleeping
