Songs of Innocence

Spring

by William Blake
(1757-1827)


            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.
