It's out and away at break of dayA
To frolic and run in the sun sweet hayA
It's up and out with a laugh and shoutB
Let the old world know that a boy's aboutB
-
It's ho for the creek that the minnows streakC
That the sunbeams dapple the cattle seekC
For a fishing pole and a swimming holeD
Where a boy can loaf and chat with his soulD
-
It's oh to lie and look at the skyE
Through the roof of the leaves that's built so highE
Where all day long the birds make songF
And everything 's right and nothing is wrongF
-
It's hey to win where the breeze blows thinG
And watch the twinkle of feather and finG
To lie all day and dream awayA
The long long hours as a boy's heart mayA
-
It's oh to talk with the trees and walkH
With the winds that whisper to flower and stalkH
And it's oh to look in the open bookI
Of your own boy dreams in some leafy nookI
-
Away from the noise of the town and toysJ
To dream the dreams that are dreamed by boysJ
To run in the heat with sun tanned feetK
To the music of youth in your heart's young beatK
-
To splash and wade in the light and shadeL
Of the league long ripples the sunbeams braidL
In boyhood's wise to see with eyesM
Of fancy hued as the butterfliesM
-
To walk for hours and learn the flowersN
And things that haunt the woods and bowersN
To climb to a nest on a tree's top crestO
Where a bird like your heart is singing its bestO
-
To feel the rain on your face againP
Like the thirsty throats that the flowers strainQ
To hear the call of the waterfallR
Like the voice of youth a wonder thrallR
-
And it's oh for me at last to seeS
The rainbow's end by the hillside treeS
On the wet hillside where the wild ferns hideT
Like a boy's bright soul to see it glideT
-
Then to laugh and run through shower and sunU
In the irised hues that are arched and spunU
And the rainbow's friend to find and spendV
The bag of gold at the rainbow's endV
