"O Echo!" (hear the children calling) "are you there?"...

"Where?"...

When the wind blows over the hill,

She hides with a vagrant will,

And call you may loud, and call you may long,

She lays finger on lip when the winds are strong,

And for all your pains she is still.

But when young plants spring, and the chiff-chaffs sing,

And the scarlet capped woodpecker flies through the vale,

She is out all day,
