By : William Wordsworth
Written in March : While Resting on the bridge at the Foot of Brother’s Water (complete Title).
The cock is crowing
The stream is flowing
The small birds twitter
The lake doth glitter
The green field sleeps in the sun
The oldest and youngest
Are at work with the strongest
The cattle are grazing
Their heads never raising
There are forty feeding like one
Like an army defeated
The Snow hath retreated
And now doth fare ill
On the top of the bare hill
The Ploughboy is whooping – anon – anon
There’s joy in the mountains
There’s life in the fountains
Small clouds are sailing
Blue sky prevailing
The rain is over and gone
