Each day you pass the village green
But seldom look my way
Each day I sit just in between
The words I want to say
My love I`ve viewed you from afar
I`d woo you if I could
Meet me tonight by the miller`s stream
`Neath mossy willowood
I`ll bring you wine and the velvet black rose
To adorn your tussled hair
We`ll dream and as the evening goes
Forget our every care
My love I`ve viewed you from afar
I`d woo you if I could
Meet me tonight by the miller`s stream
`Neath mossy willowood
I`ll bring you scarves of eastern silk
And raiments laced with gold
To grace your skin as white as milk
And shield you from the cold
My love I`ve viewed you from afar
I`d woo you if I could
Meet me tonight by the miller`s stream
`Neath mossy willowood
While woodland`s sleeping
No one is peeping
Just moonbeams leaping
Tonight
So wear you clouts of satin fine
And let your hair hang low
The leaf green nymph a spell will bind
To never let you go
My love I`ve viewed you from afar
I`d woo you if I could
Meet me tonight by the miller`s stream
`Neath mossy willowood
