The Village Children
Oh, the day was bright and sunny
How the birds both chirped and sang
While the lads and merry lasses ran and played
On the hills their laughter echoed
O'er the lake their shouting rang
Vibrant joy upon their faces was displayed
Some were splashing in the shallows
Others yet were skipping rocks
While the rest were loudly tromping through the green
They appeared supremely happy
With the water in their locks
'Twas in all the merryest sight I've ever seen
All too soon the light was fading
They were surely loth to go
But the dinner bells were sounding far away
And before they ate their dinner
They had chores to do, you know?
But they'd come again and play another day
