O the merry, merry Spring!
Music: Ann Mounsey (1811–1891) · Words: Charles Mackay
The merry, merry Spring, the bright,
bright Spring, What joy she shakes from her
One press of Sing plays this song on this device (1:05) and stops after the last: the piano and the words come from the score, so a key change or a slower tempo changes no sound file.
The microphone is asked for only when you press its button. What it hears is measured and scored on this device and never leaves it; nothing is kept unless you record and save the file yourself. What is kept, and where.
The words
The merry, merry Spring, the bright,
bright Spring, What joy she shakes from her
flow’ry wing! When the young bird sings from
its leafy nest How happy it sleeps on its
Mother’s breast, How sweet to roam at beauty’s
side Thro’ glens, and dells, and woodland’s
wide; How sweet to sit by a fountain clear,
And whisper love to a Maiden’s ear!
O the merry, merry Spring, the bright,
bright Spring, What joy she shakes from her
flow’ry wing! O the merry, merry Spring,
the bright, bright Spring, What joy she shakes
from her flow’ry wing!
At merry, merry morn, or Evening still,
How sweet to roam by the balmy hill;
To cull a wreath of flowrets rare To twine ’mid
the locks of a Maiden’s hair; How sweet to fly
from care and strife, And the dull cold round of
City life, To roam the wood and shady grove,
And plight our troth, To the Maid we love!
O! the merry, merry Spring, the bright,
bright Spring, What joy she shakes from her
flow’ry wing! O the merry, merry Spring,
the bright, bright Spring, What joy she shakes
from her flow’ry wing!
