《The Schoolboy》歌词

[00:00:00] The Schoolboy - Guitavio

[00:00:43] I love to rise in a summer morn

[00:00:47] When the birds sing on every tree

[00:00:51] The distant huntsman winds his horn

[00:00:55] And the sky lark sings with me

[00:00:59] What sweet company

[00:01:02] But to go to school in a summer morn

[00:01:06] O it drives all joy away

[00:01:11] Under a cruel eye outworn

[00:01:15] The little ones spend the day

[00:01:18] In sighing and dismay

[00:01:42] Ah then at times I drooping sit

[00:01:45] And spend many an anxious hour

[00:01:50] Nor in my book can I take delight

[00:01:53] Nor sit in learnings bower

[00:01:57] Worn thro' with the dreary shower

[00:02:01] How can the bird that is born for joy

[00:02:05] Sit in a cage and sing

[00:02:09] How can a child when fears annoy

[00:02:13] But droop his tender wing

[00:02:17] And forget his youthful spring

[00:02:40] O father and mother if buds are nip'd

[00:02:43] And blossoms blown away

[00:02:48] And if the tender plants are strip'd

[00:02:51] Of their joy in the springing day

[00:02:55] By sorrow and care's dismay

[00:02:59] How shall the summer arise in joy

[00:03:03] Or the summer fruits appear

[00:03:06] Or how shall we gather what griefs destroy

[00:03:11] Or bless the mellowing year

[00:03:17] When the blasts of winter appear
