The balmy Spring awakes the flowers
That long had slept in Winter’s night,
Her light green robe adorns the bowers,
And all is beauty, all delight.
With joy I view earth’s smiling frame,
And bless, O Lord, and bless Thy name!
Thou hast vouchsafed me buoyant health,
A cheerful, light, and bounding heart;
Contentment—better far than wealth,
