| 93. Under the Greenwood Tree |
| | | William Shakespeare (1564–1616) |
| |
| |
| UNDER the greenwood tree | |
| Who loves to lie with me, | |
| And tune his merry note | |
| Unto the sweet bird’s throat— | |
| Come hither, come hither, come hither! | 5 |
| Here shall he see | |
| No enemy | |
| But winter and rough weather. | |
| |
| Who doth ambition shun | |
| And loves to live i’ the sun, | 10 |
| Seeking the food he eats | |
| And pleased with what he gets— | |
| Come hither, come hither, come hither! | |
| Here shall he see | |
| No enemy | 15 |
| But winter and rough weather. | |
