O father and mother if buds are nipped,
And blossoms blown away;
And if the tender plants are stripped
Of their joy in the springing day,
By sorrow and care’s dismay,How shall the summer arise in joy?
Or the summer fruits appear?
Or how shall we gather what griefs destroy,
Or bless the mellowing year,
Under the greenwood tree
Who loves to lie with me,
And turn 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 i’ the sun
Seeking the food he eats
And pleased with what he gets
Come hither, come hither, come hither!
Here shall he see
No enemy
But winter and rough weather
Blow, blow, thou winter wind,
Thou art not so unkind
As man’s ingratitude:
Thy tooth is not so keen,
Because thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude.
Heigh-ho! sing heigh-ho! unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly:
Then heigh-ho, the holly!
This life is most jolly.
Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky.
That dost not bite so nigh
As benefits forgot:
Though thou the waters warp.
Thy sting is not so sharp
As friend remembered not.
High-ho! sing heigh-ho! unto the green holly ……..
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wants made
Nine bean rows will I have there a hive for the honey bee
And live alone in the bee loud glade
And I shall have some peace there for peace one dropping slow
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There were two brothers in a village. One was Karim by name and the other was Bashir. Karim was elder brother of Bashir. They began to grow up gradually. Suddenly their father died. They fell in problem to some extent. Karim was cleverer than Bashir. The younger was very simple and honest. Karim always made his brother difficult work and himself did not do any work. They had two things. One was a cow and the other was a palm tree. One day the two brothers divided their properties. Karim took the back part of the cow and gave the front to his brother. In the same way. Karim himself took the top of the palm tree and gave the bottom to his brother. Karim began to enioy the benefit of the properties. But Bashir was deprived of getting any advantage. Karim began to drink milk and juice of the palm tree. One day a clever man in the village, advised Bashir to cut down the palm tree of his own portion and stopped feeding the cow. Then the problem was solved.
I love to rise in a summer morn,
When the birds sing on every tree;
The distant huntsman winds his horn,
And the skylark sings with me:
O what sweet company!
But to go to school in a summer morn,
O it drives all joy away!
Under a cruel eye outworn,
The little ones spend the day
In sighing and dismay.
Ah then at times I drooping sit,
And spend many an anxious hour;
Nor in my book can I take delight,
Nor sit in learning’s bower,
Worn through with the dreary shower,
How can the bird that is born for joy
Sit in a cage and sing?
How can a child, when fears annoy,
But drehis tender wing.
And forget the youthful spring!
Time, you old gipsyman,
Will you not stay,
Put up your caravan
Just for one day?
All things I’ll give you,
Will you be my guest?
Bells for your jennet of silver the best.
