## The words

When the harvest all was gathered In the sunny  
Autumn weather, To the greenwood,  
blithe and merry, We went nutting all  
together;  
And as the woods we wander’d, So dim and dark  
and green, We heard a sweet voice calling  
Though noone could be seen: “Two sticks across,  
And a little bit of moss;  
It’ll do, it’ll do, it’ll do, Coo,  
coo,  
coo.”  
The wild things of the woodlands Scarce seemed  
of us afraid; The blue jay flash’d before us,  
And the Squirrel near us played.  
We ate our nuts and rested On a fallen tree,  
mossgrown, And still a voice kept calling In  
softest, tend’rest tone: “Two sticks across,  
And a little bit of moss;  
It’ll do, it’ll do, it’ll do, Coo,  
coo,  
coo.”
