Is there wind up our willow-tree?

Wind or calm at our trysting-tree?

Sing, sweet thrushes, forth and sing!

Wile us with a merry glee;

To the flowery haunts of spring—

To the angler’s trysting-tree.

Tell, sweet thrushes, tell to me!

Are there flowers 'neath our willow-tree?

Spring and flowers at the trysting-tree?

Stoddart.
