Who has seen the wind? Neither I nor you; But when the leaves hang trembling, The wind is passing through. Who has seen the wind? Neither you nor I; But when the trees bow down their heads, The wind is passing by.

Language: English
Swing, swing, Sing, sing, Here's my throne, and I am a King! Swing, sing, Swing, sing, Farewell earth, for I'm on the wing! Low, high, Here I fly, Like a bird through sunny sky; Free, free, Over the lea, Over the mountain, over the sea! Up, down, Up and down, Which is the way to London Town? Where, where? Up in the air, Close your eyes, and now you are there! Soon, soon, Afternoon, Over the sunset, over the moon; Far, far, Over all bar, Sweeping on from star to star! No, no, Low, low, Sweeping daisies with my toe. Slow, slow, To and fro, Slow -- slow -- slow -- slow.

Language: English
What does the donkey bray about? What does the pig grunt through his snout? What does the goose mean by a hiss? Oh, Nurse, if you can tell me this, I'll give you such a kiss. The cockatoo calls "cockatoo," The magpie chatters "how d'ye do?" The jackdaw bids me "go away," Cuckoo cries "cuckoo" half the day: What do the others say?
