There's joy when the rosy morning floodsA
The purple east with lightB
When the zephyr sweeps from a thousand budsA
The pearly tears of nightB
There's joy when the lark exulting springsC
To pour his matin layD
From the blossomed thorn when the blackbird singsC
And the merry month is MayD
-
There's joy abroad when the wintry snowE
Melts as it ne'er had beenF
When cowslips bud and violets blowE
And leaves are fresh and greenG
There's joy in the swallow's airy flightB
In the cuckoo's blithesome cryH
When the floating clouds reflect the lightB
Of evening's glowing skyH
-
There's joy in April's balmy showersI
'Mid gleam of sunshine shedJ
When May calls forth a thousand flowersI
To deck the earth's green bedJ
There's joy when the harvest moon comes outK
With all her starry trainL
When the woods return the reaper's shoutK
And echo shouts againM
-
There's joy in childhood's merry voiceN
When the laugh rings blithe and clearO
And the sounds that bid young hearts rejoiceN
Are music to the earP
There's joy in the dreams of early youthQ
Ere care has cast a shadeR
O'er scenes which though drest in the guise of truthQ
Our reason dooms to fadeR
-
There's joy in the youthful lover's breastS
When his bride by the altar standsT
When his trembling lip to hers is pressedS
And the priest has joined their handsT
There's joy in the smiling mother's heartU
When she clasps her first born sonV
When the holy tears of rapture startU
To bless the lovely oneV
-
There's joy when the war worn soldier hearsW
The notes that breathe of peaceX
That dry the anxious matron's tearsY
And bid stern slaughter ceaseX
There's joy when he treads the village greenG
And views his father's cotZ
The horrors of the battle sceneG
Are in that hour forgotZ
-
There's joy in the shipwrecked seaman's heartU
Who has clung all night to the shroudsA2
When the morning breeze rives the rack apartU
And the sun breaks through the cloudsA2
There's joy when he nears his native landB2
And the tedious voyage is o'erC2
And he feels the grasp of the kindred handB2
He thought to enfold no moreD2
-
There's joy above around beneathE2
But tis a fleeting rayD
The world's stern strife the hand of deathF2
Bid mortal hopes decayD
But there's a better joy than earthG2
With all her charms can giveH2
Which marks the Christian's second birthG2
When man but dies to liveI2
