And the heart of man keeps throbbing
To the tune that's in the air,
For he knows the days are coming
That will bring to him a share
To the tune that's in the air,
For he knows the days are coming
That will bring to him a share
Of the light and shade and beauty,
Earth dispenses free to all;
The happy days of summer—
How we echo their recall.
Earth dispenses free to all;
The happy days of summer—
How we echo their recall.
Come bird, come bee, come blossom;
Laughing river, sing your song;
Sunlight, soften all your glances,
As you join the happy throng.
Laughing river, sing your song;
Sunlight, soften all your glances,
As you join the happy throng.
Keep the Heart Young.
We never grow old if we keep the heart young,
Tho' phantom shadows fall
Among the tresses that once were so brown;
They come to one and all.
Eyes will not dim if the light in the soul
Is fed by kindly ray,
And the smile that hovers around Love's lips
Grows sweeter day by day.
Tho' phantom shadows fall
Among the tresses that once were so brown;
They come to one and all.
Eyes will not dim if the light in the soul
Is fed by kindly ray,
And the smile that hovers around Love's lips
Grows sweeter day by day.
