Happiness.
MUSIC COMPOSED FOR MERRY’S MUSEUM, BY GEO. J. WEBB.
1. There is a spell in every flow’r,
A sweetness in each spray,
And every simple bird has pow’r
To please me with his lay.
And there is music on each breeze
That sports along the glade;
The crystal dew-drops on the trees
Are gems, by Fancy made.
There’s gladness too in everything,
And beauty over all
For everywhere comes on with spring
A charm which cannot pall!
And I!—my heart is full of joy,
And gratitude is there,
That He, who might my life destroy,
Has yet vouchsafed to spare.
