| Chorus. |
| Climbing over rocky mountain, Skipping rivulet and fountain, Passing where the willows quiver By the ever-rolling river, Swollen with the summer rain, The summer rain. Threading long and leafy mazes Dotted with unnumbered daisies, Dotted, dotted with unnumbered daisies; Scaling rough and rugged passes, Climb the hardy little lasses, Till the bright sea-shore they gain! Scaling rough and rugged passes, Climb the hardy little lasses, Till the bright sea-shore they gain! |
| Edith. |  |
| Let us gaily tread the measure, Make the most of fleeting leisure, Hail it as a true ally, Though it perish by-and-by. |
|
| Chorus. | |
| Hail it as a true ally, Though it perish by-and-by. |
|
| Edith. | |
| Every moment brings a treasure Of its own especial pleasure; Though the moments quickly die, Greet them gaily as they fly, Greet them gaily as they fly. |
|
| Chorus. | |
| Though the moments quickly die, Greet them gaily as they fly. |
| Kate. |
| Far away from toil and care, Revelling in fresh sea-air, Here we live and reign alone In a world that’s all our own. Here, in this our rocky den, Far away from mortal men, We’ll be queens, and make decrees – They may honour them who please. |
| Chorus. |
| We’ll be queens, and make decrees – They may honour them who please. |
 |
All. |
| Let us gaily tread the measure, Make the most of fleeting leisure, Hail it as a true ally, Though it perish by-and-by. Hail it as a true ally, Though it perish by-and-by. Let us gaily tread the measure, Make the most of fleeting leisure, Hail it as a true ally, A true ally. |
