It's fifty long springtimes since she was a bride,
but still you may see her at each Whitsuntide.
In a dress of white linen and ribbons of green,
as green as her memories of loving.

The feet that were nimble tread carefully now,
as gentle a measure as age do allow.
Through groves of white blossom by fields of young corn,
where once she was pledged to her true love.

The fields they stand empty, the hedges grow free,
no young men to tend them or pastures go see.
They have gone where the forests of oak trees before.
have gone to be wasted in battle.

Down from the green farmlands and from their loved ones,
marched husbands and brothers and fathers and sons
There's a fine roll of honour where the maypole once stood
and the ladies go dancing at Whitsun.

There's a straight row of houses in these latter days,
all covering the downs where the sheep used to graze.
There's a field of red poppies, a wreath from the Queen,
but the ladies remember at Whitsun,
and the ladies go dancing at Whitsun.
