The sun is up, the sun is up, <br />Sing merrily we, the sun is up. <br />The birds they sing, <br />Upon the wing, <br />Hey nony nony no. <br /> <br />The pigeons coo, <br />The moolies moo, <br />Hey troli-loli lo. <br />The sun is up, the sun is up, <br />Sing merrily we, the sun is up. <br /> <br />The horses neigh, <br />The young lambs play, <br />Hey nony nony no. <br />The bees they hum, <br />O, quickly come! <br />Hey troli-loli lo. <br />The sun is up, the sun is up, <br />Sing merrily we, the sun is up. <br /> <br />The morning hours, <br />The dewy flowers, <br />Hey nony nony no, <br />And all we meet <br />Are fresh and sweet, <br />Hey troli-loli lo. <br />The sun is up, the sun is up, <br />Sing merrily we, the sun is up. <br /> <br />Then, sleepy heads, <br />All leave your beds! <br />Hey nony nony no. <br />For every thing <br />Doth sweetly sing <br />Hey troli-loli lo. <br />The sun is up, the sun is up, <br />Sing merrily we, the sun is up.<br /><br />Eliza Lee Follen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-sun-is-up/
