第96章 SUMMER WOODS

1.Come ye into the summer woods;There nothing can annoy;All greenly wavethe chestnut leaves,And the earth is full of joy.

2.There,lightly swung in bowery glades,The honeysuckles twine;There blooms the rose-red campion,And the dark blue columbine.

3.And many a merry bird is there,Unscared by ruthles The blue-winged jay,the woodpecker,And the golden-crested wren .

4.Come down,and ye shall see them all,The timid and the bold;For their sweet life of joyousness It is not to be told.

5.And far within that summer wood,Among the leaves so green,There flows a little gurgling brook.The brightest e’er was seen.

6.There come the gentle little birds,Without a fear of ill ,

Down to the murmuring water‘s edge And freely drink their fill,7.And dash about and splash about,The merry little things;And look askance with bright black eyes,And flirt their dripping wings.

8.I’ve seen the nimble squirrels drop Down from their leafy tree,The little squirrels with the old,-Great joy it was to me.

9.And down unto the running brook,I‘ve seen them nimbly go;And the bright water seemed to speak A welcome kind and low.

10.And many a wood-mouse dwelleth there,Beneath the old wood shade,And all day long has work to do,Nor is of aught afraid.

11.There is enough for every one,And they lovingly agree;-We might learn a lesson,all of us,Beneath the greenwood tree.
