by William Blake (1757 - 1827)

Sound the Flute!
Now 'tis 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 play
Hours away.
Let me pull
Your soft Wool.
Let me kiss
Your soft face.
Merrily Merrily to welcome in the Year.
