The days so bright and golden,
In leaf and flower the summer writes
Her poem sweet and olden.

The golden days, the long bright days,
The gladdest of the year!
The green grass springs, the wild bird sings,
The summer time is here.

The air is full of splendor
And unto all the south wind brings
Her message sweet and tender. [Refrain]

All nature gives Thee praises,
From mountain peak to where the flower
Its lowly bloom upraises. [Refrain]

A song of glad thanksgiving. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [The days are gliding swiftly by] Text Sources: The Sunny Side by C. W. Wendte and Henry S. Perkins (New York: William A. Pond, 1875)
