A LAUGHING SONGWhen the greenwoods 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 EmilyWith 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 and be merry and join with meTo sing the sweet chorus of 'Ha, ha, he!'William Blake. - Summary by Lynne Thompson More information: https://librivox.org/tales-of-laughter-by-kate-douglas-wiggin/ LibriVox - free public domain audiobooks (https://librivox.org/)
