A Wake-up Song

Sun’s up; wind’s up! Wake up, dearies!
Leave your coverlets white and downy.
June’s come into the world this morning.
Wake up, Golden Head! Wake up, Brownie!

Dew on the meadow-grass, waves on the water,
Robins in the rowan-tree wondering about you!
Don’t keep the buttercups so long waiting.
Don’t keep the bobolinks singing without you.

Wake up, Golden Head! Wake up, Brownie!
Cat-bird wants you in the garden soon.
You and I, butterflies, bobolinks, and clover,
We’ve a lot to do on the first of June.
