<poem>
1. Now is my Cloris fresh as May,
  All clad in green and flowers gay:
  Fa la la.
  O, must I think August were near,
  That harvest joy might soon appear:
  Fa la la.


Now is my Cloris fresh as May,<br>
2. But she keeps May throughout the year
all clad in green and flowers gay:<br>
  And August never comes the near:
Fa la la la.<br>
  Fa la la.
That harvest joy might soon appear:<br>
  Yet I will hope, though she be May,
Fa la la la.<br>
  August will come another day:
But she keeps May throughout the year<br>
  Fa la la.
and August never comes the near:<br>
</poem>
Fa la la la.<br>
August will come another day:<br>
Fa la la la.
