The sun, with his great eye, Sees not so much as I ; And the moon, all silver, proud, Might as well be in a cloud. And the spring -- the spring ! I lead the life of a king ! Couch'd in the teeming grass, I spy each pretty lass. I look where no one dares, And I stare where no one stares, And when the night is nigh, Lambs bleat my lullaby.
