<l>Easter Holidays</l>
<l>((Verse 1st))</l>
<l>Hail! festal Easter that dost bring</l>
<l>Approach of sweetly-smiling spring,</l>
<l>When Nature's clad in green:</l>
<l>When feather'd songsters through the grove</l>
<l>With beasts confess the power of love</l>
<l>And brighten all the scene.</l>

<l>Now youths the breaking stages load</l>
<l>That swiftly rattling o'er the road</l>
<l>To Greenwich haste away:</l>
<l>While some with sounding oars divide</l>
<l>Of smoothly-flowing Thames the tide</l>
<l>All sing the festive lay.</l>
<l>((Verse 3rd)) </div1><div1 type=stanza n=3>
