Last year you sang it as gladly.
“New, new, new, new!” Is it then so new
That you should [carol so madly]?
“Love again, song again, nest again, young again!”
And hardly a daisy as yet, little friend,
See, there is hardly a daisy.
“Here again, here, here, here, happy year!”
O warble unchidden, unbidden!
Summer is coming, is coming, my dear,
