Sound the flute! <br /> Now it's mute! <br /> Bird's 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, to welcome in the year.<br /><br />William Blake<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/spring-5/
