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.
