Spring - By William Blake

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.
