Thread Name: Lyr Req: Sumer Is Icumen In/Summer Is A-Coming In
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Sumer Is Icumen In/Summer Is A-Coming In
Seeing as this thread has just been revived, it seems worthwhile to emphasize Masato's point: "icumen" is an old form of the past participle, corresponding to modern German gekommen, so "A-Coming" in the thread title is misleading.
