Original text and translations
In arbour green asleep I lay,
The birds sang sweet in the middle of the day
I dreamed fast of mirth and play
In youth is pleasure,
In youth is pleasure.
Methought I walked still to and fro
And from her company I could not go
But when I waked it was not so
In youth is pleasure,
In youth is pleasure.
Therefore my heart is surely plight
Of her alone to have a sight,
Which is my joy and hearts delight
In youth is pleasure,
In youth is pleasure.
