Sumer is icomen in
-Anon 13th century

Sumer is icomen in,

Lhude sing cuccu.

Groweth sed and bloweth med

And springth the wude nu.

Sing cuccu!

Awe bleteth after lomb

Lhouth after calve cu:

Bulluc sterteth

bucke verteth

Murie sing cuccu!

Cuccu, cuccu, well singes thu, cuccu:

Ne swike thu naver nu;
