Queen Bee

All is for my mistress all is for my maid
Sweetness that I took for sweetness that she gave to me
My queen bee
Though my heart has long been given to you
Summer’s turn is nigh
Swifts and swallows swoop and yearn for you
With all that’s in the sky
But blow the wind and come the rain and come my love again
All is for my mistress all is for my maid
Sweetness that I took for sweetness that she gave to me
My queen bee
Autumn’s flourish fruit that falls for you
Apples sweet as death
All that falls has lived and died for you
Gently come to rest
But blow the wind and come the rain and come my love again
All is for my mistress all is for my maid
Sweetness that I took for sweetness that she gave to me
My queen bee
Winter’s kiss has some enthralled
So they keep their fires bright
But my breast is lit with flames to shun
The dying of the light
Oh blow the wind and come the rain and come my love again
All is for my mistress all is for my maid
Sweetness that I took for sweetness that she gave to me
My queen bee
I’ll speak love’s truth with oak and ash for you
Sing through April’s tears
I will weave the bonny flowers of spring for you
I will walk for years
Oh blow the wind and come the rain and take my heart again
Yes blow the wind and come the rain and come my love again
All is for my mistress all is for my maid
Sweetness that I took for sweetness that she gave to me
My queen bee
