The Dance

Lyrics

Come and hasten to the dancing Merry eyes will soon be glancing Ha! my heart upbounds! Come and dance a merry measure Quaff the bright brown ale my treasure Hark! what joyous sounds! Sweet-heart come, on let us haste On, on, no time let us waste With my heart I love thee Dance, dance, for rest we disdain Turn twirl and spin round again With my arm I hold thee! Down the path the lights are gleaming Friendly faces gladly beaming Welcome us with song Dancing makes the heart grow lighter Makes the world and life grow brighter As we dance along!
