The Hunting-song of Them That Did Not Hunt

Ernest Rhys

GOOD-DAY, said the damsel,

Good-morrow to you,

For if you mean hunting

I would hunt with you too;

I am weary of making

And baking the bread;

If you stay in my parlour

I will hunt in your stead.

You shall sup in my parlour

My white wine and broth,

I am weary of weaving

The sendal and cloth.

Good-day, said the damsel,

Good-even to you:

What is good for the huntsman

Is good for me too.
