lyrics

Here the Sun does arise,
And make happy the skies.
The merry bells ring
To welcome the Spring.
The sky-lark and thrush,
The birds of the bush,
Sing louder around,
To the bells chearful sound.
Old John with white hair
Does laugh away care,
Sitting under the oak,
Among the old folk,
They laugh at our play,
And soon they all say.
Such such such were the joys,
When we all, girls and boys,
In our youth time were seen
On the Ecchoing Green.

Each rock and each hill,
Each fountain and rill,
Cloud, Meteor, Star
Are men seen afar.
Such such such were the joys,
In my youth time were seen.

Sun does arise
And makes happy the skies
Merry bells ring
Welcome, welcome to Spring
Sky-lark, birds, bush
Sing, sing, bells ring round.

Each herb and each tree,
Mountain, hill
Cloud, Meteor, Star
Are men seen afar.

The sun does arise
And makes smiling the skies
The merry bells ring
To welcome the Spring
Then the sky-lark and thrush
And the birds of the bush,
Sing louder around,
To the bells chearful sound.
While our sports shall be seen
On the Ecchoing Green
Yes, the sun does arise
And make happy
Make happy the skies.
Oh, the sun does arise
To make happy the skies.
The merry bells ring
To welcome the spring
Make happy the skies.
