The brook told the dove 
And the dove told me 
That Cicely's bathing at the pool 
With other virgins three. 

The brook told the dove 
And the dove told me 
That Cicely floating on the wave 
Woke music in the tree. 

The brook told the dove 
And the dove told me 
That Cicely's drying in the sun, 
A snowy sight to see.
