18. Little sunbeam

1 O, would you be a sunbeam,
In this fair world of ours,
To give forth life and gladness,
And waken up the flowers?
Do deeds of winning kindness
To dear ones round thy hearth;
Do deeds of winning kindness,
To dear ones round thy hearth;
But think, amidst thy sweet home-love,
Of lonely ones on earth.

2 And in thy loving mission,
Let none forgotten be;
Let insect, bird and flower
Be cared for tenderly;
And so shalt thou be truly;
A little sunbeam bright,
And so shalt thou be truly,
A little sunbeam bright,
To shine with perfect loveliness,
And fill thy home with light.
