_Enter Allegorical personages_: FATHER SUN, MOTHER EARTH, _and
a chorus of_ GRASSES, POPPIES, CORNFLOWERS, RAGGED ROBINS,
DAISIES, BEETLES, BEES, FLIES, _and insects of all kinds._

FATHER SUN.

Wake, children, rub your eyes,
Up and dance and sing and play,
Not a cloud is in the skies;
This is going to be _my_ day.
See the tiny dew-drop glisten
In my glancing golden ray;
See the shadows dancing, listen
To the lark so blithe and gay.
Up, children, dance and play,
This is my own festal day.

FLOWERS, BEETLES, ETC.

Dance and sing
In a ring,
Naughty clouds are chased away;
Oh what fun,
Father Sun
Is going to shine the whole long day.

MOTHER EARTH. That's right, children. This is the day to grow in; but
don't forget to come home to dinner; I've got such a nice dinner for
you.
