Here and There

Where's Lucy? where's Lucy?
Far, far in the wood,
With wild birds for playmates,
And beechnuts for food?

CHORUS.

No, here she is! here she is!
Happy and gay,
With singing and ringing
To join in our lay.

Where's Gerald? where's Gerald?
He's out in the snow;
The stars shining keenly,
The cold wind doth blow.

No, here he is! here he is!
Happy and gay;
With singing and ringing
To join in our lay!

Where's Evey? where's Evey?
She's lost in the fog;
Go seek her, go find her,
With man and with dog.

No, here she is! here she is!
Happy and gay;
With singing and ringing,
To join in our lay!

Where's Henry? where's Henry?
Poor Henry's afloat;
The sea-waves all round him,
High tossing his boat.

No, here he is! here he is!
Happy and gay;
With singing and ringing
To join in our lay!

Where's Charley? where's Charley?
In China dwells he;
He wears a long pig-tail,
Perpetually drinks tea.

No, here he is! here he is!
Happy and gay;
With singing and ringing,
To join in our lay!

Where's Johnny? where's Johnny?
In Nubia, I know;
He has climb'd a tall palm-tree,--
A lion's below.

No, here he is! here he is!
Happy and gay;
With singing and ringing,
To join in our lay!

Where's Mary? where's Mary?
Young Mary's asleep;
And round her white pillow
The little dreams creep.

No, here she is! here she is!
Happy and gay;
With singing and ringing,
To join in our lay!

Where's Bertha? where's Bertha?
She has wings--she can fly!
She has flown to the bright moon--
Look up there and spy!

No, here she is! here she is!
Happy and gay;
With sinking and ringing,
To join in our lay!
