COME AWAY CHILDREN
Reading edition
COME away children, frisk along with me, For I’ll be the piper and merry will we be; With laughter and dancing and sports to make us gay, O there’s sunshine and there’s singing—come away, come away!
Come away children, leave the town behind; Follow me to Happy-land and see what we shall find, Where the flowers smile to see you and the birdies trill and play Just because the sun is shining—come away, come away!
Come away children, I’ll pipe an elfin tune And we’ll play that we are fairies dancing in the summer moon; We’ll pretend that we are flowers in the carnival of May If you’ll join the merry crew and come away, come away!
