How Lovely

How lovely is the summer breeze That whispers through the leafy trees Then graceful drifts across the land Through blades of grass yet gently fanned How beautiful are eyes that shine With joy and peace, and love divine To thus enchant each sorrowed heart With benediction to impart How wonderful the evening mist (Within its veil two lovers kissed) Then o`er the land to linger there As wraith-like curtains in the air Amazing are the birds that sing So elegant upon the wing Above and in the sky so sweet Then softly each new day to greet How blissful is the fireside glow Whilst all about is set with snow To feel its warmth upon your face As if enwrapped in love`s embrace Magnificent the mountain stream Cascading down to pastures green Glistening in the noon-day sun As threads of gossamer unspun How sweet the scent of autumn rain To drench the land which so again Replenishes the arid earth And brings all things once more to birth How glorious, how wonderful, How beautiful, adorable Life`s pleasures such as these to know Which through our lives forever flow
