William Blake/P. Kirtley)



Sound the flute now it's mute

BIrds delight day and night

Nightingale in the dale

Lark in the sky

Merrily to welcome in the year



Little boy full of joy

Little girl sweet and small

The cock crows

So do you

Meerry voice infant noise

So merrily to welcome in the year



Little lamb here I am

Come and lick my white neck.

Let me pull on your wool

Let me kiss your soft face

And merrily we'll welcome in the year
