1. Where the bees and butterflies
Skim the grassy down,
Four merry little children
Gathered from the town;

2. Ragged little Johnnie,
And his brother Ben,
With wild-flowers are laden,
These merry little men.
Kate and Mat have posies
Of colours bright and gay,
For Tim, their tiny brother,
At home obliged to stay.

3. They have roamed the meadow,
They have scoured the wood,
