Lyrics

The maids of Helston gather dew while yet the
morning breezes blow;
The daisies here are fresh and new;
So singing dancing away you go.

Chorus:

Arise, arise the dawn of day,
the skylight hails the dawn of day.
So, get thee hence, from Helston fly!
For joy rules here this morning of day.

2. All youth who owns loves ardent power,
   from whom they flee without a care, |
   To seek the early opening flower to adorn the lovely maiden’s hair;

Chorus

3. Go to the thicket in the glade and pick with haste the willow bow,
   Entwine a wreath and adore the maid who has given her heart and made a vow

Chorus
