Who goes amid the green wood 
With springtide all adorning her? 
Who goes amid the merry green wood 
To make it merrier? 

Who passes in the sunlight 
By ways that know the light footfall? 
Who passes in the sweet sunlight 
With mien so virginal? 

The ways of all the woodland 
Gleam with a soft and golden fire -- - 
For whom does all the sunny woodland 
Carry so brave attire? 

O, it is for my true love 
The woods their rich apparel wear -- - 
O, it is for my own true love, 
That is so young and fair.
