Where the squirrels play in the sunshine,

Where the prettiest flowers are found;

When he knows a pair of robins

That will fly to his hands for crumbs,

He hates to be penned in a school-room,

And he's glad when Saturday comes.

There's a bee-tree on the hillside,

But I'll not tell any one where;

There's a school of trout in the mill-stream,

And I want to go fishing there.
