English text

  Where the bee sucks, there suck I:
  In a cowslip's bell I lie;
  There I couch when owls do cry.
  On the swallow's wings I fly
  After summer merrily.
  Merrily, merrily shall I live now
  Under the blossom that hangs on the bough.
  Merrily, merrily shall I live now
  Under the blossom that hangs on the bough.
