     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.
