Lyrics

Within the woodlands, flow'ry gladed
By the oak trees' mossy moot
The shining grass blades, timber shaded
Now do quiver underfoot
And birds do whistle overhead
And water's bubbling in its bed
And there for me, the apple tree
Do lean down low in Linden Lea
When leaves, that lately were a-springing
Now do fade within the copse
And painted birds do hush their singing
Up upon the timber tops
And brown leaved fruit's a-turning red
In cloudless sunshine overhead
With fruit for me, the apple tree
Do lean down low in Linden Lea
Let other folk make money faster
In the air of dark-room'd towns
I don't dread a peevish master
Though no man may heed my frowns
I be free to go abroad
Or take again my homeward road
To where, for me, the apple tree
Do lean down low in Linden Lea
Written by: Ralph Vaughan Williams, William Barnes
