| From morning to evening fill all the sweet air | B |

| And the vale where the daisies bloom white as the snow | C |

| In the woodland beyond it a thousand gay voices | F |
| Are singing in chorus some jubilant air | B |

| I am glad as a child in this beautiful weather | E |
| I have tossed all my burdens and trials away | G |
| My heart is as light yes as light as a feather | E |
| I am care free and careless and happy to day | G |
| Can it be there approaches a dark dreary to morrow | C |
| Can shadows e er fall on this beautiful earth | H |
| Ah To day is my own No forebodings of sorrow | C |
| Shall darken my skies or shall dampen my mirth | H |
