Sweetness that I took for sweet
Swifts and swallows swoop
with all that's in the sky
But blow the wind and come the rain
All is for my mistress, all is for my maid
Sweets that I took for sweetness
Autumns flourish, fruit that falls for you
All that falls has lived and died
for you gently come to rest
But blow the wind and come the rain
Sweetness that I took for sweetness that
Winter's kiss has some enthrall,
So they keep their fires bright.
But my breast is lit with flames to shun
Oh, blow the wind and come the rain
Sweetness that I took for sweet
with oak and ash for you,
sing through April's tears
I will weave the bonny flower
Oh, blow the wind and come the rain
Yes, the wind and come the rain
Sweetness that I took for sweet
