The brook that down the valley	A
So musically drips	B
Flowed never half so brightly	A
As the light laugh from her lips	B
	-
Her face was like the lily	A
Her heart was like the rose	C
Her eyes were like a heaven	D
Where the sunlight always glows	C
	-
She trod the earth so lightly	A
Her feet touched not a thorn	E
Her words wore all the brightness	F
Of a young life's happy morn	E
	-
Along her laughter rippled	G
The melody of joy	H
She drank from every chalice	I
And tasted no alloy	H
	-
Her life was all a laughter	J
Her days were all a smile	K
Her heart was pure and happy	A
She knew not gloom nor guile	K
	-
She rested on the bosom	L
Of her mother like a flower	J
That blooms far in a valley	A
Where no storm clouds ever lower	J
	-
And Merry merry merry	A
Rang the bells of every hour	J
And Happy happy happy	A
In her valley laughed the flower	J
	-
There was not a sign of shadow	M
There was not a tear nor thorn	E
And the sweet voice of her laughter	J
Filled with melody the morn	E
	-
	-
	-
Years passed 'twas long long after	J
And I saw a face at prayer	N
There was not a sign of laughter	J
There was every sign of care	N
	-
For the sunshine all had faded	O
From the valley and the flower	J
And the once fair face was shaded	P
In life's lonely evening hour	J
	-
And the lips that smiled with laughter	J
In the valley of the morn	E
In the valley of the evening	Q
They were pale and sorrow worn	E
	-
And I read the old old lesson	D
In her face and in her tears	R
While she sighed amid the shadows	C
Of the sunset of her years	S
	-
All the rippling streams of laughter	J
From our hearts and lips that flow	M
Shall be frozen cold years after	J
Into icicles of woe	M
