[00:00.823]The School Boy
[00:22.348]I love to rise in a summer morn,
[00:24.646]When the birds sing on every tree;
[00:27.206]The distant huntsman winds his horn,
[00:29.923]And the sky-lark sings with me
[00:32.274]O! what sweet company
[00:39.118]But to go to school in a summer morn,
[00:41.443]O! it drives all joy away;
[00:44.421]Under a cruel eye outworn
[00:46.877]The little ones spend the day,
[00:49.411]In sighing and dismay
[00:55.811]Ah! then at times I drooping sit,
[00:58.553]And spend many an anxious hour,
[01:00.983]Nor in my book can I take delight,
[01:03.569]Nor sit in learnings bower,
[01:06.286]Worn thro' with the dreary shower
[01:35.308]How can the bird that is born for joy,
[01:37.868]Sit in a cage and sing
[01:40.402]How can a child when fears annoy
[01:43.275]But droop his tender wing
[01:45.339]And forget his youthful spring
[01:52.131]O! father & mother if buds are nip'd,
[01:54.508]And blossoms blown away,
[01:57.224]And if the tender plants are strip'd
[01:59.811]Of their joy in the springing day,
[02:02.606]By sorrow and care's dismay
[02:08.927]How shall the summer arise in joy
[02:11.540]Or the summer fruits appear
[02:13.891]Or how shall we gather what griefs destroy
[02:16.816]Or bless the mellowing year
[02:19.115]When the blasts of winter appear
[02:48.451]I love to rise in a summer morn,
[02:50.697]When the birds sing on every tree;
[02:53.126]The distant huntsman winds his horn,
[02:55.922]And the sky-lark sings with me
[02:58.220]O! what sweet company
