How sweet she roamed from field to field
And tasted all the summer's pride
Til she, the prince of love beheld
I, in the sunny beams did glide
I showed her lilies for her hair
Blushing roses for her brow
I led her through my gardens fair
Where golden treasures grow
With sweet May dew her wings were wet
And Phoebus filled her vocal rage
I caught her in my silken net
And shut her in my golden cage
Now I love to hear her sing
Laughing while I play with she
And stretching out her golden wing
I mock her loss of liberty
How sweet she roamed from field to field
I roam no more, he will not yield
How sweet she roamed from field to field
I roam no more, he will not yield
How sweet she roamed from field to field
