Explore "Sing Heigh-Ho!" by Charles Kingsley on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
There sits a bird on every tree; / Sing heigh-ho! / There sits a bird on every tree, / And courts his love as I do thee; / Sing heigh-ho, and heigh-ho! / Young maids must marry.
There grows a flower on every bough; / Sing heigh-ho! / There grows a flower on every bough, / Its petals kiss -- I'll show you how: / Sing heigh-ho, and heigh-ho! / Young maids must marry.
From sea to stream the salmon roam; / Sing heigh-ho! / From sea to stream the salmon roam; / Each finds a mate, and leads her home; / Sing heigh-ho, and heigh-ho! / Young maids must marry.
The sun's a bridegroom, earth a bride; / Sing heigh-ho! / They court from morn till eventide: / The earth shall pass, but love abide.
Sing heigh-ho, and heigh-ho! / Young maids must marry.
Eversley, 1847.
