William Blake (1757–1827). The Poetical Works. 1908.

Songs of Innocence

Spring

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.
