A Song of Joy
“The sun is careering in glory and might,”
(I)The sun is careering in glory and might,
Mid the deep blue sky and the clouds so bright.
The billow is tossing the foam on high,
And the Summer breezes go lightly by,
The air and the water dance glitter and play
And why should not I be as merry as they.
(II)The linnet is singing the wild wood through,
The fawn's bounding foot steps skim over the dew.
The butterfly flits round the blossoming tree,
And the cowslip and blue-bell are bent by the bee.
All the creatures that dwell in the forest are gay
And why should not I be as merry as they.- Collector
