Memorials of a pleasant day,
With birds among their bowers,
And friends as light of heart as they,
'Mid groves, and meads, and flowers.
With birds among their bowers,
And friends as light of heart as they,

Records of feeling, and of thought,
Of Nature's own revealing;
From her own living presence caught,
To natural hearts appealing.
Of Nature's own revealing;
From her own living presence caught,
To natural hearts appealing.
In faith and hope I cast ye forth,
Like bread upon the waters;
Trusting your unpretending worth
To Nature's sons and daughters.
Like bread upon the waters;
Trusting your unpretending worth
To Nature's sons and daughters.
