Where is the path that leads to peace | B |
Where shall I find the bliss to be | C |
Where shall the weary wanderings cease | B |
These are the questions that come to me | C |
Where is the road to Arcady | A |

Is there a mystic time and place | D |
To which some day shall the traveler fare | E |
Where there is never a frowning face | D |
And never a burden hard to bear | E |

For Arcady is an earthly sphere | F |
Where only the gentlest breezes blow | G |
A port of rest for the weary here | H |
Where the velvet grass and the clover grow | G |
I question it oft is it far or near | F |
For Arcady is an earthly sphere | F |
- | |
And the answer comes it is very near | F |
It's there at the end of a little street | A |
Where your children's voices are ringing clear | F |
And you catch the patter of little feet | A |
Where is the spot that is never drear | F |
And the answer comes it is very near | F |
- | |
For each man buildeth his Arcady | A |
And each man fashions his Port of Rest | A |
And never shall earth spot brighter be | C |
Than the little home that with peace is blessed | A |
So seek it not o'er the land and sea | C |
For each man buildeth his Arcady | A |
