about

NOTE FROM ARTIST:
The most memorable thing about this song is my boys and their Owhiro Bay School friends.

They happily played games running around, chasing and yelling at each other in the school’s playground and the surrounding fields.

Their joy can be heard throughout this song, which helped transport me into Blake’s time, just for a little while.
[Lorenzo Buhne | April 2024]

lyrics

The Echoing Green

The sun does arise,
And make happy the skies;
The merry bells ring
To welcome the Spring;
The Skylark and Thrush,
The birds of the bush,
Sing louder around
To the bells’ cheerful sound,
While our sports shall be seen
On the Echoing Green.

Old John with white hair,
Does laugh away care,
Sitting under the oak,
Among the old folk.
They Laugh at our play,
And soon they all say:
“Such, such were the joys
When we all, girls and boys,
In our youth time were seen
On the Echoing Green.”

Till the little ones, weary,
No more can be merry;
The sun does descend,
And our sports have an end.
Round the laps of their mothers
Many sisters and brothers,
Like birds in their nest,
Are ready for rest,
And sports no more seen
On the darkening Green.
