Have You Seen But A White Lily Grow?

HAVE YOU SEEN BUT A WHITE LILY GROW?
W: Ben Johnson
17th C. English folk song
Key: D

-2* -2* -3 -1 2 -2* 2 -1 -1 2-2*3-3-44*-5
Have you seen but a white lil-y grow
-3 -4 -4 -2* 3* -3 -3
Be-fore rude hands had touch’d it
-2* -2* -4 -3 -4-3 3-2* 2 -2* 3* -3
Have you mark’d but the fall of the snow
1* -1 2 -2* 2 -1 -1 -1
Be-fore the earth hath smudged it
-1 -1 -3 -1 -1 2 -2* -1
Have you felt the wool of bea-ver
-3 4 -4-3 -3 -3
Or swan’s down ev-er
2 2 -2* 2 -1 3 3 -3 -4 -4
Or have smelt of the bud of the bri-ar
-3 3 -2* 2 -1 -3
Or the nard in the fire
-2* 3 -3 -1 2 -2* 2 -1 2
Or have tast-ed the bag of the bee
2 2 -3 -2* -2* -4
Oh, so white Oh, so soft
-3 -3 4* -3 -5
Oh, so sweet, so sweet
-2* 2 -1 -1s
So sweet is she
