1.

Wake up, little Maud, ’tis a sunshiny day,

The kitten is up, and already at play;

And Maud like the merriest kitten can run,

2.

Wake up, little Maud, for on thicket and tree

The birdies are singing as gay as can be.

As sweet and as clear can my little Maud sing

As ever the merriest bird on the wing.

3.

Wake up, little Maud, for the flowers are awake,

The sweet breezes are blowing on mountain and lake;

The world is all beauty and brightness to-day,

Then wake, little Maud, with the roses to play.
