Boy and Girl.

Seq - Dr. J.Pitt-Payne. Kar - Bunty Pritchard Jones. Apr 2001.

When we were children, going
through meadows after mowing,

we used to play among the hay,
big armfuls fiercely throwing!

Soon our war was ended,
and on the hay extended,

In peace we'd make a feast of cake,
that cake was simply splendid!

Little girl! Little boy!
We would have such fun, in the summer sun!

Nobody stupid to check the joy
of one little girl, and one little boy!

One little, one little girl,
and boy!

When all the woods were ringing,
with birds of springtime singing,

we'd take a board, and length of cord,
and gaily go a~swinging!

Then to and fro, unsteady,
our swing would twist and eddy;

And if it broke, 'twas but a joke.
The grass was always ready!

Little girl! Little boy!
We would swing so high, that we seemed to fly!

Life was a game, and the world a toy,
for one little girl, and one little boy!

One little, one little girl,
and boy!

How all the lanes remind me,
of happy days behind me.

Our dearest freak was hide and seek,
I hid and you would find me.

I heard you faintly calling,
and then a silence falling,

you pass'd me by beneath your eye,
with blindness quite appalling!

Little girl! Little boy!
But you don't forget, how we always met!

We were not distant or cold, or coy,
as one little girl, and one little boy,

One little, one little girl,
and boy!
