<h3><SPAN name="15">SPRING</SPAN></h3>
Sound the flute!<br/>
Now it’s mute!<br/>
Birds delight,<br/>
Day and night,<br/>
Nightingale,<br/>
In the dale,<br/>
Lark in sky,—<br/>
Merrily,<br/>
Merrily, merrily to welcome in the year.
<br/><br/>Little boy,<br/>
Full of joy;<br/>
Little girl,<br/>
Sweet and small;<br/>
Cock does crow,<br/>
So do you;<br/>
Merry voice,<br/>
Infant noise;<br/>
Merrily, merrily to welcome in the year.
<br/><br/>Little lamb,<br/>
Here I am;<br/>
Come and lick<br/>
My white neck;<br/>
Let me pull<br/>
Your soft wool;<br/>
Let me kiss<br/>
Your soft face;<br/>
Merrily, merrily we welcome in the year.
