Sumer is Icumen In

Okay, feel that heat? So pull on your Speedo or bikini, slather on the +45 sun screen, mix a Campari and soda, and join in singing the oldest known song in the English tongue:

Sumer is icumen in,
Loude sing cuckou!
Groweth seed and bloweth meed,
And springth the wode now.
Sing cuckou!

Ewe bleteth after lamb,
Loweth after calve cow,
Bulloc sterteth, bucke verteth,
Merye sing cuckou!
Cuckou, cuckou,
Wel singest thou cuckou:
Ne swik thou never now!
