It is time, O ye leaves, O ye leaves, on the treetops of morning! Laugh down the trees, that pastures may wake! It is time, O ye streams, O ye streams, on the hilltops of morning! Run down the hills, That the valleys may wake! It is time, O ye bells, O ye bells, in the grey spire of morning! Run down the spire, That the hamlet may wake!
