  3. Laughing Song By William Blake When the green woods laugh, with the voice of joy And the dimpling stream runs laughing by, When the air does laugh with our merry wit, And the green hill laughs with the noise of it. When the meadows laugh with lively green And the grasshopper laughs in the merry scene, When Mary and Susan and Emily, With their sweet round mouths sing Ha, Ha, He. When the painted birds laugh in the shade Where our table with cherries and nuts is spread Come live & be merry and join with me, To sing the sweet chorus of Ha, Ha, He.

  4. Hyperbole • Hyperbole is an exaggeration or an overstatement. • Examples: • I was so hungry I could eat a horse! • I had aged five years before the speaker had finished his boring tale.
