The sun does arise,
and make happy the skies.
the merry bells ring
to welcome the spring.
[5]
the sky-lark and thrush,
the birds of the bush,
sing louder around,
to the bellsâ cheerful sound.
while our sports shall be seen
[10]
on the ecchoing green.
old john, with white hair
does laugh away care,
sitting under the oak,
among the old folk,
[15]
they laugh at our play,
and soon they all say.
âsuch, such were the joys.
when we all girls & boys,
in our youth-time were seen,
[20]
on the ecchoing green.â
till the little ones weary
no more can be merry
the sun does descend,
and our sports have an end:
[25]
round the laps of their mothers,
many sisters and brothers,
like birds in their nest,
are ready for rest;
and sport no more seen,
[30]
