Spring

Sound the flute!

     Now it's mute!

     Bird's delight,

     Day and night,

     Nightingale,

     In the dale,

     Lark in sky,—

     Merrily,

Merrily merrily, to welcome in the year.

     Little boy,

     Full of joy;

     Little girl,

     Sweet and small;

     Cock does crow,

     So do you;

     Merry voice,

     Infant noise;

Merrily, merrily, to welcome in the year.

     Little lamb,

     Here I am;

     Come and lick

     My white neck;

     Let me pull

     Your soft wool;

     Let me kiss

     Your soft face;

Merrily, merrily, to welcome in the year.
