/ Hey! Come merry dol! derry dol! My \
| darling! Light goes the weather-wind |
| and the feathered starling. |
| |
| Down along under Hill, shining in the |
| sunlight, Waiting on the doorstep for |
| the cold starlight, There my pretty |
| lady is, River-woman's daughter, |
| Slender as the willow-wand, clearer |
| than the water. |
| |
| Old Tom Bombadil water-lilies bringing |
| Comes hopping home again. Can you hear |
| him singing? Hey! Come merry dol! derry |
| dol! and merry-o Goldberry, Goldberry, |
| merry yellow berry-o! |
| |
| Poor old Willow-man, you tuck your |
| roots away! Tom's in a hurry now. |
| Evening will follow day. Tom's going |
| home again water-lilies bringing. Hey! |
| come derry dol! Can you hear me |
| singing? |
