English text
Away to the woods, away;
All nature is smiling,
Our young hearts beguiling,
Oh we will be happy today.
Our flag to the breezes fling,
And as it waves o’er us,
We’ll join in the chorus,
Till woodland and valley shall ring.
Oh, this is our festal day,
Sweet flowerets are springing,
Sweet songsters are singing,
And we will be happy and gay.
