Under the Greenwood

Ad Temoriam hodie
Potentiam praepolentem invoco Trinitatis
Allelulia
Apud Temoriam hodie
Virtutem Nativitatis Christi cum eia eius baptismi
Allelulia
Apud Temoriam hodie
Virtutem amoris Seraphim in obsequio angelorum
Allelulia
A hedge of trees surrounds me
The blackbird’s lay sings to me
May the Lord shield me
Well do I write under the greenwood
Upon my lined booklet
The trilling birds chant to me
May the Lord shield me
Well do I write under the greenwood
In a gray mantle from the top of the bushes the cuckoo sings
