Spring

Russell Smith

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.
