PERIWINKLE

    Tinkle, tinkle,
    Periwinkle!
     Soft and clear,
     Far or near,
Still the mellow notes I hear!
 Up and down the sunny hills,
  Here you go, there you go,
 Where the happy mountain rills
  Tinkle soft, tinkle low;
Where the willows, all a-quiver,
Dip their long wands in the river,
And the hemlock shadows fall
By the gray rocks, cool and tall—
    In and out,
    And round about,
     Here you go,
     There you go!

    Tinkle, tinkle,
    Periwinkle!
     Here and there,
     Everywhere,
Floats the music on the air!
 Through the pastures wide and free,
  Here you go, there you go,
 Making friends with bird and bee,
  Flying high, flying low;
