The Morris dancers dance and sing,
to patterns fashioned long ago
unwritten, only told and shown.
Still welcoming the start of Spring,
garlands twirl, tambourine bells ring
places set in remembered lines
with merry steps they intertwine,
as reminders of bygone days
the pipe and concertina play
while all hands clapping mark the time.

I especially liked the sound in these lines: “as reminders of bygone days
the pipe and concertina play”
