SONGS OF CHILDHOOD: 1901

A-laughing as loud as they could, could, could,
A-laughing as loud as they could.
 
Come Jinnie, come dwarf, cocksparrow, and bee,
There's a ring gaudy-green in the dell,
Sing, sing, ye sweet cherubs, that flit in the tree;
La! who can draw tears from a well, well, well,
Who ever drew tears from a well!
