Spyri, Johanna, 1827-1901

"Cornelli"


Hurrah, oh hurrah!
All over the ground.
Oh cuckoo from the woods,
Oh flowers so bright,
Oh, kindliest sun,
Come and bring us delight!
Hurrah, oh hurrah!
Come and bring us delight!
When the swallow comes back
And the finches all sing,
I sing and I dance
For joy of the Spring.
Hurrah, oh hurrah!
For joy of the Spring.
Suddenly the door flew open and Agnes burst into the room.
"But why didn't you ever say anything?" she cried out. "To think of
it! Why did you never say a word, Cornelli?"
"But what should I have said?" Cornelli asked, very much frightened.
"You must not be afraid," Mux now calmed her, "I'll help you, if she
should want to hurt you."
"Don't be so unnaturally stupid, Mux!" his sister ejaculated as she
ran to the next room. Here her mother was already standing in the open
door. "Have you heard it, Mother? Come out and let Cornelli sing her
song again!"
"Yes, indeed! I have heard it with pleasure and great wonder," said
the mother, approaching Cornelli.
