Sound the flute! Now it's mute! Bird's 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, to welcome in the year. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BEFORE THE BIRTH OF ONE OF HER CHILDREN by ANNE BRADSTREET A SONG OF PROGRESS by ALEXANDER ANDERSON BENNINGTON by WILLIAM HENRY BABCOCK SONNETS FROM THE PORTUGUESE: 3 by ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING ON SEEING THE BEAUTIFUL SEAT OF LORD GALLOWAY by ROBERT BURNS MORNING by CHARLES STUART CALVERLEY |
