Calling in the early morn?

As they flit amid the corn?

Do you see the daisies peeping
From the folds of their green bed?

Lifting each a yellow head?

Do you see the daisies peeping,
Lifting each a yellow head?
Tell me, are the cowslips nodding,
Nodding in the gentle breeze,
While the greedy bees are sipping,
Sipping honey at their ease?

Has the oak increased its shadow
Since we chatted 'neath its shade?
Has the oak increased its shadow,
And a wider circuit made?

Has the oak increased its shadow,
And a wider circuit made?
And the willows by the stream,
At the foot of the old hill,
Where I used to sit and dream,
Do they greet the traveler still?
