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.

When cats run home and light is come And dew is cold upon the ground, And the far-off stream is dumb, And the whirring sail goes round; Alone and warming his five wits, The white owl in the belfry sits. When merry milkmaids click the latch, And rarely smells the new-mown hay, And the cock hath sung beneath the thatch Twice or thrice his round-e-lay; Alone and warming his five wits, The white owl in the belfry sits.

?. In the meadow  [sung text not yet checked]
In the meadow -- what in the meadow? Bluebells, buttercups, meadowsweet, And fairy rings for the children's feet In the meadow. In the garden -- what in the garden? Jacob's-ladder and Solomon's-seal, And Love-lies-bleeding beside All-heal In the garden.
