WHO GOES amid the green wood 
    With springtide all adorning her? 
Who goes amid the merry green wood 
    To make it merrier?
Who passes in the sunlight 
    By ways that know the light footfall? 
Who passes in the sweet sunlight 
    With mien so virginal?
 
The ways of all the woodland 
    Gleam with a soft and golden fire— 
For whom does all the sunny woodland 
    Carry so brave attire?
 
O, it is for my true love 
    The woods their rich apparel wear— 
O, it is for my own true love, 
    That is so young and fair.
