Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, and may 2021 be better than 2020, or at least not worse.

Here is one of my favourite carols, 'Levy Dew' set by Benjamin Britten:

Here we bring new water
From the well so clear,
For to worship God with,
This Happy New Year.

(Chorus)
Sing levy dew, sing levy dew,
The water and the wine,
The seven bright gold wires,
And bugles that do shine.

Sing reign of fair maid,
With gold upon her toe,
Open you the West Door
And turn the Old Year go.

(Chorus)
Sing levy dew, sing levy dew,
The water and the wine,
The seven bright gold wires,
And bugles that do shine.

Sing reign of fair maid,
With gold upon her chin,
Open you the East Door
And let the New Year in.

(Chorus)
Sing levy dew, sing levy dew,
The water and the wine,
The seven bright gold wires,
And bugles that do shine.

Hah! I know this one better sung by Waterson:Carthy. But I do like Britten.

Happy New Year! A healthy one.
