lyrics

Hunting Song (Walter Scott)

Waken, lords and ladies gay!
On the mountains dawns the day.
All the jolly chase is here
With hawk and horse and hunting spear.
Hounds are in their couples yelling
Hawks are whistling, horns are knelling
Merrily, merrily mingle they -
Waken, lords and ladies gay!
Waken, lords and ladies gay!
The mist has left the mountain gray.
Springlets in the dawn are streaming,
Diamonds on the brake are gleaming.
And foresters have busy been
To track the buck in thicket green:
Now we come to chant our lay -
Waken, lords and ladies gay!
Waken, lords and ladies gay!
To the greenwood haste away.
We can show you where he lies,
Fleet of foot and tall of size:
We can show the marks he made
When 'gainst the oak his antlers frayed.
You shall see him brought to bay -
Waken, lords and ladies gay!
Louder! Louder! Chant the lay!
Waken, lords and ladies gay!
Tell them youth and mirth and glee
Run a course as well as we.
Time, stern huntsman, none can balk,
Staunch as hound and fleet as hawk -
Think of this and rise with day
Gentle lords and ladies gay.
