I. Dawn, noon and dewfall! Bluebird and robin / Up and at it airly, and the orchard-blossoms bobbin'!
Peekin' from the winder, half-awake, and wishin' / I could go to sleep agin as well as go a-fishin'!
II. On the apern o' the dam, legs a-danglin' over, / Drowsy-like with sound o' worter and the smell o' clover: / Fish all out a visitin' -- 'cept some dratted minnor!
Yes, and mill shet down at last and hands is gone to dinner.
III. Trompin' home acrost the fields: Lightnin'-bugs a-blinkin' / In the wheat like sparks o' things feller keeps a-thinkin': -- / Mother waitin' supper, and the childern there to cherr me!
And fiddle on the kitchen-wall a-jist a-eechin' fer me!
