The Poems of William Blake
What are the grasshopper and the birds doing ?
A laughing song
A laughing song
And the grasshopper laughs in the merry scene,
When Mary and Susan and Emily
With their sweet round mouths sing "Ha, ha he!"
When the painted birds laugh in the shade,
Where our table with cherries and nuts is spread..
The grasshoppers are "clicking" and the birds are "chirping".
A Laughing Song
