When the green woods laugh with the voice of joy / And the dimpling stream runs laughing by, / When the air does laugh with our merry wit, / And the green hill laughs with the noise of it. // When the meadows laugh with lively green / And the grasshopper laughs in the merry scene, / When Mary and Susan and Emily, / With their sweet round mouths sing Ha, Ha, He. // When the painted birds laugh in the shade / Where our table with cherries and nuts is spread / Come live & be merry and join with me, / To sing the sweet chorus of Ha, Ha, He.
