once more the glad earth yields
her golden wealth of rip'ning grain,
and breath of clover fields,
and deep'ning shade of summer woods,
and glow of summer air,
and winging thoughts and happy moods
of love and joy and prayer.
2 The sweet June days are come again;
the birds are on the wing;
bright anthems, in their merry strain,
unconsciously they sing.
Oh, how our cup o'erbrims with good
these happy summer days;
for all the joys of field and wood
we lift our song of praise. Topics: Transcending Mystery and Wonder Summer Languages: English Tune Title: FOREST GREEN
