Ayreheart - In a Garden so Green

“In a Garden So Green” may date back to 1682 in a Scottish collection of Songs & Fancies, but it also takes us back 25 years to the early days of the wonderful The Baltimore Consort, and one of their popular Scottish projects (also on Dorian) On the Banks of Helicon (DOR-90139). This track was recorded and mixed by Carr Designs at North Fourth studios. Lyrics: In a garden so green, in a May morening heard I my lady pleen of paramours. Said she, my love so sweet, come you not yet nor yet? Heght you not me to meet amongst the owrs? Elore, Elore, I love my lusty love, Elore lo. The skies upspringis, the dew down dingis, the sweet larks singis their hours of prime. Phoebus upsprentius, joy to rest wentis lost mine intent is and gone’s the time. Elore, Elore, I love my lusty love, Elore lo. Danger my dead is, false fortune my feid is, langour my leed is, and hope I despair. Disdaine my desyris, so strangeness my feir is, deceit out of weir is, adew I fare. Elore, Elore, I love my lusty love, Elore lo. Then to my lady swyth did I my presence kyth. Saying, My bird be blyth, am I not yours? So in my arms two did I my lusty jo And kiss her tymis mo then night hes hours, Elore, Elore, I love my lusty love, Elore lo.
