Oh, You Were Not So Idle

Oh, you were not so idle--
You wore a sprig of green;
You wore a feather in your cap,
The reddest ever seen.

Your face was laughing gypsy brown,
Your eyes were of the blue;
You wandered up and down the world,
For you had much to do.

For oh, you were not idle,
Whatever men might say--
You made the colour of the year
Magnificent and gay.
