128 In the Spring-time seed is sown: In the Summer grass is mown: In the Autumn you may reap: Winter is the time for sleep.


 * Spring is hope—Fal lal la!
 * Summer's joy—Fal lal la!
 * Spring and Summer never cloy,
 * Fal la!
 * Autumn, toil—Fal lal la!
 * Winter, rest—Fal lal la!
 * Winter, after all, is best—
 * Fal la!

Spring and summer pleasure you, Autumn, ay, and winter, too— Every season has its cheer; Life is lovely all the year!
 * Fal la!
