PLEASANT TIMES AND THINGS.
Pleasant is the time of spring,When the merry birds are singing;
When the lark is on the wing;
And the sky with music ringing.
Pleasant is the summer day,
Where the silver stream is flowing;
Where the lily looks so gay,
Where the ruby rose is glowing.
Where the silver stream is flowing;
Where the lily looks so gay,
Where the ruby rose is glowing.
Pleasant is the harvest moon,
With the stars the sky adorning;
Pleasant is our play at noon,
Pleasant are the night and morning.
With the stars the sky adorning;
Pleasant is our play at noon,
Pleasant are the night and morning.
Pleasant is the fire at night,
When we pretty tales are telling;
While the tempest in its might,
Loudly rushes round the dwelling.
When we pretty tales are telling;
While the tempest in its might,
Loudly rushes round the dwelling.
Pleasant is the gentle child,
That is pleased with what is given;
When denied, content and mild,
Such a child is dear to heaven.
That is pleased with what is given;
When denied, content and mild,
Such a child is dear to heaven.
