[Verse 1]
Hark the greening of the earth
Curl-ed ferns yet to uncurl
Hark the zingen of the birds
Gurrel yearns yet to un-girl

[Verse 2]
Beech and aller, woak and birch
Biddle, bull-head, squirrel’s drey
Willow, aspen, elder, larch
Soldier-King on Maundy day

[Chorus]
In her satchel, Pepsi fizz
Peanut-and-banana sandwiches
For this man her shepherd is
Parts her bready, her bready lips

[Verse 3]
"Are you Elvis? Are you God?
Jesus sent to win my trust?"
"Love Me Tender" are his words
As I've loved you, so you must

[Chorus]
Thrice she draws her lips to kiss
Mouthing for his mouth in vain
Thrice her lwonesome kisses miss
"My love, will you come back again?"
