UNDER THE GREENWOOD TREE

From “As you like it,” Act II Scene 4

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,
Here shall he see
No enemy,
But winter and rough weather.

Who doth ambition shun,
And loves to lie I’m the sun,
Seeking the food he eats,
And pleased with that he gets,
Come hither, come hither, come hither,
Here shall he see
No enemy,
But winter and rough weather.


Willliam Shakespeare
