| The lark in sunshine sings his song | C |
| And dressed in garments white and gay | D |
| The village lasses trip along | C |

| Ah gather flowers of sweetest hue | E |
| Young violets from the bank's green side | F |

| So passes life the smile the tear | G |
| Succeed as in our path we stray | D |
| Thy kingdom come for we are here | H |
| As guests who tarry but a day | D |
