Tie your kerchief, Susan Gray!

Come, while still the dewdrops twinkle,

O’er the hill with us away.

Every field is sunning, sunning

Broad its breast in morning’s blue;

Every brook is running, running,

Shall not we be running, too?

April calls from hill and valley,

Clad in fairy gold and green;

Bring your posies, Kate and Sally!
