PEACE
Though all joy of life be done
Who cares? so the dearest one
Laughs in the sun, plays in the sun.
Who cares? so the dearest one
Laughs in the sun, plays in the sun.
Your heart's love and my heart's love,
Walking in a Paradise grove
And the eyes of God above.
Walking in a Paradise grove
And the eyes of God above.
Come up hither, look with me!
On the pleasant green country,
Birds and flowers and waving tree.
On the pleasant green country,
Birds and flowers and waving tree.
Here the days go slow and dim
Lacking him and wanting him:
Life goes quicker than a dream.
Lacking him and wanting him:
Life goes quicker than a dream.
Your heart's joy and my heart's joy
Set above care and annoy,
Golden boy and golden boy.
Set above care and annoy,
Golden boy and golden boy.
So that it goes well with these
Love and Joy and sweetest ease,
Who cares if the world 's amiss?
Love and Joy and sweetest ease,
Who cares if the world 's amiss?
In the light and ambient air
Groves and fields beyond compare.
O, they walk there, see they walk there!
Groves and fields beyond compare.
O, they walk there, see they walk there!
