On a Fair Morning as I Came by the Way

    On a fair morning, as I came by the way,
  Met I with a merry maid in the merry month of May,
  When a sweet love sings his lovely lay,
  And every bird upon the bush bechirps it up so gay.
  With a heave and ho! with a heave and ho!
  Thy wife shall be thy master, I trow.
  Sing care away, care away, let the world go!
  Hey, lustily, all in a row, all in a row,
  Sing care away, care away, let the world go!

    _Errors_

    None that seem apparent to me but it isn't like the guy could come back and fix it.

    _Overview_

    I think the rhyme breaks at the end.

    _Opinion_

    I like the piece, I think the break in rhyme ruined the rhythm but, other than that - a lovely piece.
