No. 1 - Act I Opening Chorus
| Girls: | When Spring comes dancing over the hills, With a fal-la-la and a fal-la-la-la-lay! She calls the golden daffodils, "Awake and dance all day." With a fal-la-la and a fal-la-la-la-lay! Awake and dance all day. |
| Sopranos: | And breezes woo the violets blue, |
| Contraltos: | And breezes woo the violets blue, |
| All: | And merry bluebells ring; To welcome laughing Spring! With a fal-la-la and a fal-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, Fal-la-la-la-la-la! |
| Miss Thorne: | So Chloe, grow bolder, Trip over the leas! Your snowy young shoulder No snowflake will freeze! And Phyllis; faint-hearted, Come out in the sun; The chill is departed, The winter, the winter is done, is done! |
| Miss Rose: | All your shepherd lovers Have been waiting long, Through the leafy covers Calls the cuckoo's song! Ringing down the hollow From the trees above; Maidens, if you follow You may meet with Love! Maidens, if you follow You may meet with Love! |
| Girls: | So bind your hair in daisy chains With a fal-la-la and a fal-la-la-la-lay! And come to meet your shepherd swains, There is no more to say With a fal-la-la and a fal-la-la-la-lay! There is no more to say! Each Shepherdess is crowned Princess, Each Shepherdess is crowned Princess, And ev'ry lad a King, When Love is lord in Spring! With a fal-la-la and a fal-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, Fal-la-la-la-la-la! |
