Young Venevil ran with her heart on fire to her lover so dear
She sang till she made all the church-bells ring:
'Good day, good day!'
And all the little song-birds made answer to her song:
'Mid-summers day's for laughter and play
Take care, little Venevil, your garland's going astray.'
 
She wove him a garland of flowers blue:
'As my eyes so blue, my love, for you.'
He took it, and tossed it o'er the hill:
'Farewell, my sweet, my sweet, farewell.'
He laughеd and ran like lightning you hear his laughter still:
'Mid-summеr day's for laughter and play
Take care, little Venevil, your garland's gone astray.'

Biography:

Frederick Delius (1862-1934) came from a merchant family in England. His musical career began in 1884, when his family sent him to Florida to manage an orange plantation. Instead, he took inspiration from the African-American music he heard and embarked on a career that saw him spend most of his life in France. His music frequently takes on pastoral subjects, influenced by the techniques of Wagner, Grieg, and Debussy.
