A Boy's Song

James Hogg, 1770–1835


Where the pools are bright and deep,
Where the grey trout lies asleep,
Up the river and over the lea,
That 's the way for Billy and me.


2. Where the blackbird sings the latest,
Where the hawthorn blooms the sweetest,
Where the nestlings chirp and flee,
That 's the way for Billy and me.


3. Where the mowers mow the cleanest,
Where the hay lies thick and greenest,
There to track the homeward bee,
That 's the way for Billy and me.


4. Where the hazel bank is steepest,
Where the shadow falls the deepest,
Where the clustering nuts fall free,
That 's the way for Billy and me.


5. Why the boys should drive away
Little sweet maidens from the play,
Or love to banter and fight so well,
That 's the thing I never could tell.


6. But this I know, I love to play
Through the meadow, among the hay;
Up the water and over the lea,
That 's the way for Billy and me.

A Boy's Song
by James Hogg
"A Boy's Song," by James Hogg (1770-1835), is a sparkling poem, very attractive to children.


Where the pools are bright and deep,
Where the gray trout lies asleep,
Up the river and o'er the lea,
That's the way for Billy and me.

Where the blackbird sings the latest,
Where the hawthorn blooms the sweetest,
Where the nestlings chirp and flee,
That's the way for Billy and me.

Where the mowers mow the cleanest,
Where the hay lies thick and greenest,
There to trace the homeward bee,
That's the way for Billy and me.

Where the hazel bank is steepest,
Where the shadow falls the deepest,
Where the clustering nuts fall free.
That's the way for Billy and me.

Why the boys should drive away,
Little sweet maidens from the play,
Or love to banter and fight so well,
That's the thing I never could tell.

But this I know, I love to play,
Through the meadow, among the hay;
Up the water and o'er the lea,
That's the way for Billy and me.

A Boy's Song

James Hogg, 1770–1835 (modified)

Where the pools are bright and deep,
When the ABers lie asleep,
Up the river and over the lea,
That 's the way for Pinki and me.


2. Where the LadyAlex sings the latest,
Where the Mama and ttfn bloom the sweetest,
Where the 4getmenots and boxtop chirp and flee,
That 's the way for Pinki and me.


3. Where the JoggerJayness mow the cleanest,
Where her oils lie thick and greenest,
There to track Mrs O's bathroom bee,
That 's the way for Pinki and me.


4. Where the Loftie Lottest is neatest,
Where the doc always falls the deepest,
Where the clustering nuts of Mike fall free,
That 's the way for Pinki and me.


5. Why the boys should drive away
Little sweet Mollies from the play,
Or love to banter and fight so well,
That 's the thing I never could tell.


6. But this I know, I love to play
Through the Mods and Ed , among AB hay;
Up the country and over the Net way,
That 's the way for Pinki and me.
