The best time is the summer time
When cow parsley is high,
And daylight hours of field flowers
Are spread beneath a sky
That drops upon them so much light
And unseals blooms that closed with night.
The best time is the summer time
Till cow parsley is dry.
And there is clover now
And bees to take the yield.
