TEXT

AWAY from the city

And into the sun,

Out of the country,

Run! Run! Run!

Run in the raindrops!

Run beneath the trees!

Run little races

With each little breeze!

Run down the hillside,

Run up the lane;

Run through the meadow,

Then run back again!

Run and be merry

All through the day!

Run to the country,

Away!Away!

- Mary Daunt
