Orbis Factor (2025 Mix)

Milde Moder (Gentle Mother)

A traditional English folk song - the track also incorporates the Irish slip jig “Elizabeth Kelly’s Delight”.

Lyrics:

Where are you going?
To Scarborough fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to a bonny lass there
For once she was a true lover of mine

Tell her to wash it in yonder well
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Where water ne’er sprung nor a drop of rain fell
And she shall be a true lover of mine

Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And tie it all up with a songbird’s feather
And she shall be a true lover of mine

Tell her to gather it up in a sack
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And carry it home on a butterfly’s back
And then she shall be a true lover of mine

Cecil Sharp, “100 English Folksongs”

Scarborough Faire

Incorporates “The Ashplant”, an Irish reel.

Lyrics:

Mountains hum their mournful song,
And the river sighs as it glides along.
I lost my way, my heart, my throne,
In the realm where I once belonged.
I lost my way, my heart, my throne,
In the realm where I once called home.
