IN THE WOODS.

In the woods the leaves are green,

In the woods a golden sheen

Falls upon the flowers;

In the woods the robin gay

Sings a happy roundelay,

Perched in bloomy bowers.

In the woods the squirrel flits

High among the trees, or sits

Basking in the light;

In the woods I love to lie,

Gazing at the blue, blue sky

With its clouds so bright.
