Through all the pleasant meadow-side
      The grass grew shoulder-high,
Till the shining scythes went far and wide
      And cut it down to dry.

Those green and sweetly smelling crops
      They led in waggons home;
And they piled them here in mountain tops
      For mountaineers to roam.

Here is Mount Clear, Mount Rusty-Nail,
      Mount Eagle and Mount High;—
The mice that in these mountains dwell,
      No happier are than I!

Oh, what a joy to clamber there,
      Oh, what a place for play,
With the sweet, the dim, the dusty air,
      The happy hills of hay!
