When the green woods laugh with the voice of joy,
And the dimpling stream runs laughing by;
When the ______ does laugh with our merry wit,
And the green ______ laughs with the noise of it;
When the meadows ______ with lively green,
And the grasshopper laughs in the ______ scene;
When Mary and Susan and Emily
With their ______ round mouths sing 'Ha ha he!'
When the ______ birds laugh in the shade,
Where our table with ______ and nuts is spread:
Come live, and be merry, ______ join with me,
To sing the sweet chorus of 'Ha ha he!'
