❄️The Snow It Melts the Soonest❄️

English folk song. Lyrics: O, the snow it melts the soonest when the winds begin to sing; And the corn it ripens fastest when the frosts are setting in; And when the young man tells me that my face he'll soon forget, Before we part, I wage a crown, he's fain to follow't yet. The snow it melts the soonest when the wind begins to sing; And the swallow skims without a thought as long as it is spring; But when spring goes, and winter blows, my love, an ye'll be fain, For all your pride, to follow me, across the stormy main. O, the snow it melts the soonest when the wind begins to sing; The bee that flew when summer shone, in winter cannot sting; I've seen a young man's anger melt between the night and morn, And it's surely not a harder thing to melt a young man's scorn. O, never say me farewell here -no farewell I'll receive, For you shall set me to the stile, I'll kiss and take your leave; But I'll stay here till the woodcock comes, and the martin takes his wing, For the snow it melts the soonest when the winds begin to sing.
