Write down the theme of the following poem. (Not more than 50 words):-
Under the greenwood tree
Who loves to lie with me,
And turn his merry note
Unto the sweet bird's throat -
Come hither, come hither, come hither!
Here shall he see
No enemy
But winter and rough weather.
Who doth ambition shun
And loves to live I' the sun
Seeking the food he eats
And pleas'd with what he gets -
Come hither, come hither, come hither!
Here shall he see
No enemy
But winter and rough weather.
