The Echoing Green 9
The sun does arise,
And make happy the skies,
The merry bells ring
To welcome the spring;
The skylark and the thrush, 2
1
The birds of the bush,
Sing louder around
To the bells’ cheerful sound,
While our sports shall be seen
On the echoing green. 3
Old John, with white hair,
Does laugh away care,
Sitting under the oak,
Among the old folk.
They laugh at our play,
1. a small bird that sings while it flies high up in the sky 3. an area of grass in the middle of a village
2. a bird with a brown back and brown spots on its chest
