Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EBEB FGFG HIHI JCJC KLKL AMAMThe world's a very happy place | A |
Where every child should dance and sing | B |
And always have a smiling face | A |
And never sulk for anything | B |
- | |
I waken when the morning's come | C |
And feel the air and light alive | D |
With strange sweet music like the hum | C |
Of bees about their busy hive | D |
- | |
The linnets play among the leaves | E |
At hide and seek and chirp and sing | B |
While flashing to and from the eaves | E |
The swallows twitter on the wing | B |
- | |
The twigs that shake and boughs that sway | F |
And tall old trees you could not climb | G |
And winds that come but cannot stay | F |
Are singing gaily all the time | G |
- | |
From dawn to dark the old mill wheel | H |
Makes music going round and round | I |
And dusty white with flour and meal | H |
The miller whistles to its sound | I |
- | |
And if you listen to the rain | J |
Where leaves and birds and bees are dumb | C |
You hear it pattering on the pane | J |
Like Andrew beating on his drum | C |
- | |
The coals beneath the kettle croon | K |
And clap their hands and dance in glee | L |
And even the kettle hums a tune | K |
To tell you when it's time for tea | L |
- | |
The world is such a happy place | A |
That children whether big or small | M |
Should always have a smiling face | A |
And never never sulk at all | M |
