Feast Songs

Here are the lyrics of the songs Erin and I sang today-

Sumer is Icumen In

Sumer is icumen in,
Lhude sing, cuccu;
Groweth sed
and bloweth med,
And springth the wode nu;
Sing, cuccu!

Awe bleteth after lomb,
Lhouth after calue cu;
Bulluc sterteth,
Bucke uerteth,
Murie sing, cuccu!

Cuccu, cuccu,
Wel singes thu, cuccu;
Ne swic thu naver nu.

Sing, cuccu, nu; sing, cuccu;
Sing, cuccu; sing, cuccu, nu!



Deo Gracias

Adam lay i-bowndyn, bowndyn in a bond, Fowre thowsand wynter thowt he not to long	Adam lay ybounden, Bounden in a bond; Four thousand winter, Thought he not too long.
And al was for an appil, an appil that he tok. As clerkes fyndyn wretyn in here book.	And all was for an apple, An apple that he took. As clerkes finden, Written in their book.
Ne hadde the appil take ben, the appil taken ben, Ne hadde never our lady a ben hevene quen.	Ne had the apple taken been, The apple taken been, Ne had never our ladie, Abeen heav'ne queen.
Blyssid be the tyme that appil take was! Therefore we mown syngyn Deo gracias!	Blessed be the time That apple taken was, Therefore we moun singen. Deo gracias!
