What I love the most about this song is that it is in 5/4 time, giving it, in my opinion, a feeling of weightlessness, as if the music was set free from its constraints.

Arranged by R. Vaughn Williams. A side note, I played `Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis` by Vaughn Williams as a teenager, and it formed a deep impression on me, with these sweeping rolls of sound that sounded like the waves on the ocean to me.

As I went out one May morning
One May morning betime,
I met a maid from home had strayed
Just as the sun did shine.

`What makes you rise so soon my dear,
Your journey to pursue?
Your pretty little feet, they tread so sweet
Strike off the morning dew.`

`I`m going to feed my father`s flock
His young and tender lambs
That over hiles and over dales
Lie waiting for their dams`.

`O stay! O stay! You handsome maid
And rest a moment here
For there is none but you alone
That I do love so dear

How gloriously the sun doth shine
How pleasant is the air
I`d rather rest on a true love`s breast
Then any other where,

For I am thine and thou art mine
No man shall uncomfort thee;
We`ll join our hands in wedded bands
And married we shall be.

Sora’s voice is dramatic and ghostly throughout. It is easy to imagine yourself on the moors whilst listening to this song. - Sara Hunt
