Midsummer Carol

I found this in the collection of Sabine Baring-Gould from 1890, as a contribution to the #TradSongTues theme this week of #Midsummer.

A very happy summer solstice to those in the North!

I could not find this ballad in the Bodelian database, it was collected from a William Aggett of Chagford, but no suggestion as to its origin.
