Thread Name: Lyr Req: It Was a Lover and His Lass (Shakespeare)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Mary O'Hara song/lovers love the Spring
The poem is called "It was a lover and his lass" and it's by an old English poet with the strange name of William Shakespeare.
The most common music for this is the one by Thomas Morley, but I'm not sure if this is the tune you're looking for; other people have written songs for this.
The poem and the Morley music are easy to find; try googling them.
