I think it's Lindsey's adaptation of the late Anglo-Saxon (or very early Middle English) poem
Sumer Is Icumen In, a joyous paean to the warmth & fecund greenery of the seasons.
Svmer is icumen in
Lhude sing cuccu!
Growež sed and blowež med
and springž že wde nu.
Sing cuccu!
Awe bletež after lomb,
lhouž after calue cu,
Bulluc stertež, bucke uertež.
Murie sing cuccu!
Cuccu, cuccu,
Wel singes žu cuccu.
ne swik žu nauer nu!
