The Voice" of the Grass 



Here I come creeping, creeping everywhere; 



By the dusty roadside, 



On the sunny hillside, 



Close by the noisy brook, 



In every shady nook, 



I come creeping, creeping everywhere. 



Here I come creeping, creeping everywhere, 



All around the open door, 



Where sit the aged poor, 



Here where the children play, 



In the bright merry May, 



I come creeping, creeping everywhere. 



Here I come creeping, creeping everywhere; 



In the noisy city street, 



My pleasant face you'll meet 



Cheering the sick at heart 



Toiling his busy part, 



Silently creeping, creeping everywhere.
