Summer is icumen in,
Lhude sing cuccu!
Groweth sed bloweth med
And springth the wode nu.
Sing cuccu!
Awe bleteth after lomb
Lhouth after calve cu,
Bulluc sterteth, buche verteth.
Murie sing cuccu!
Cuccu, cuccu,
Wel singes thu, cuccu.
Ne swik thu naver nu!
Sing cuccu nu, Sing cuccu!
Sing cuccu, Sing cuccu nu!
