Songs of Innocence: Spring

Tuesday 3 August 2004.
 
                Sound the flute!
                Now it’s mute!
                Birds 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 we welcome in the year.
