When the green woods laugh with the voice of joy, <br /> And the dimpling stream runs laughing by; <br /> When the air does laugh with our merry wit, <br /> And the green hill laughs with the noise of it; <br /> <br /> when the meadows laugh with lively green, <br /> And the grasshopper laughs in the merry scene, <br /> When Mary and Susan and Emily <br /> With their sweet round mouths sing 'Ha, ha he!' <br /> <br /> When the painted birds laugh in the shade, <br /> Where our table with cherries and nuts is spread: <br /> Come live, and be merry, and join with me, <br /> To sing the sweet chorus of 'Ha, ha, he!'<br /><br />William Blake<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/laughing-song/
