Fulltext: '11/!f, 111.'Jt THE Your The Brown Pipit There's a merl'y brown pipit sitting up in the tree, He's singing to me! He's singing to me~ And what does he say; little girl, little boy? ''Oh, the world's running over with joy! Don't you hear? don't you see? Hush! Look! In my tree. I'm as happy as happy can be!" And the brnwn pipit keeps singing, "A nest do you see, . And five eggs hid by me in the mango tree? Don't meddle! don't touch! little gil'l, little boy, Or the world will lose some of its joy! Now I'm glad! now I'm free And I always shall be, If you never bring sorrow to me." So the merry brown pipit sings away in the tree, To you and to me, to you and to me; And he sings all the day, little girl, little boy, "Oh, the world's running over with joy: But long it won't be, Don't yCJu know? don't you see? Unless we are as good as can be!" -.4.dapted from Lucy Larcom
