The Call of the Woods

  Under the greenwood tree,
  Who loves to lie with me,
  And tune his merry note
  Unto the sweet bird’s throat,
Come hither, come hither, come hither!
  Here shall he see
  No enemy
But winter and rough weather.

  Who doth ambition shun,
  And loves to live in the sun,
  Seeking the food he eats,
  And pleas’d with what he gets,
Come hither, come hither, come hither!
  Here shall he see
  No enemy
But winter and rough weather.

Shakespeare.
