The Sixteen - Choral Dances From 'Gloriana': Fourth Dance - Country Girls

Sweet flag and cuckoo flower,
Cowslip and columbine,
Kingcups and sops in wine,
Flower deluce and calaminth,
Harebell and hyacinth,
Myrtle and bay with rosemary between,
Norfolk's own garlands for her Queen.

Behold a troop of rustic swains,
Bringing from the waves and pastures
the fruits of their toil.
