Queen Bee

[Chorus]

All is for my mistress, all is for my maid

Sweetness that I took for sweetness that she gave to me

My queen bee

[Verse 1]

Though my heart has long been given to you

Summer's turn is nigh

Swifts and swallows swoop and yearn for you

With all that's in the sky

[Refrain]

But blow the wind and come the rain and come my love again

[Chorus]

All is for my mistress, all is for my maid

Sweetness that I took for sweetness that she gave to me

My queen bee

[Verse 2]

Autumn's flourish fruit that falls for you

Apples sweet as death

All that falls has lived and died for you

Gently come to rest

[Refrain]

But blow the wind and come the rain and come my love again

[Chorus]

All is for my mistress, all is for my maid

Sweetness that I took for sweetness that she gave to me

My queen bee

[Verse 3]

Winter's kiss has some enthralled

So they keep their fires bright

But my breast is lit with flames to shun

The dying of the light

[Refrain]

Oh, blow the wind and come the rain and come my love again

[Chorus]

All is for my mistress, all is for my maid

Sweetness that I took for sweetness that she gave to me

My queen bee

[Verse 4]

I'll speak love's truth with oak and ash for you

Sing through April's tears

I will weave the bonny flowers of spring for you

I will walk for years

[Refrain]

Oh, blow the wind and come the rain and take my heart again

Yes, blow the wind and come the rain and come my love again

[Chorus]

All is for my mistress, all is for my maid

Sweetness that I took for sweetness that she gave to me

My queen bee
