“Mirie it is while sumer ilast” (Merry it is while summer lasts) is a Middle English song of the first half of the 13th century. It is about the longing for summer in the face of the approaching cold weather. It is one of the oldest songs in the English language, and one of the few examples of non-liturgical music from medieval England.
This recording of the song is performed by Hungarian musician Arany Zoltán.

Lyrics:
Mirie it is while sumer ylast
With fugheles son
Oc nu neheth windes blast
And weder strong.
Ei, ei! What this nicht is long!
And ich with wel michel wrong
Soregh and murne and fast.
Modern English Lyrics:
Merry it is while summer lasts
With the song of birds
But now draws near the wind's blasts
And harsh weather.
Alas, alas! How long the night is!
And I, most unjustly
Sorrow and mourn and fast.
