68. Come away

1 How the merry wind blows o'er meadows green,
Come away to the woods, come away;
'Tis the loveliest morning that e'er was seen,
Come away to the woods, come away.

Refrain:
Come away, come away,
Let us haste to the woods today!
Come away, come away,
Come away to the woods, come away!

2 See the merry flow'rs by the brooklet streams,
Come away to the woods, come away;
Hear the singing brids where the waters gleam,
Come away to the woods, come away. [Refrain]

3 See the waving trees, on the hillside grow,
Come away to the woods, come away;
They invite us there, to the scene we'll go,
Come away to the woods, come away. [Refrain]
