_In The Wild Wild-Woods To-Day_

Away--far away--in the wild wild-woods to-day! Underneath the spreading, cool, green boughs sitting, Nesting birds above us flitting, Seem to sing--seem to say: “Mortals sad, be good, be good--be glad--be gay!”

Little hearts full of glee, Happy as happy can be; In the wavy bushes seen, In the tall, tufted tree-tops between, Singing, singing merrily, Singing, singing--seem to say: “Mortals sad, be good, be good--be glad to-day!”
