'Neath the mantle of the sky, crushed by careless feet.

Many a floral gem is hid in a casket green,

But a zephyr lifts the lid and its worth is seen;

Through the meadows broad and fair, violets demure

Scatter incense rich and rare, happy and secure.

As the seasons glide along, earth's a pleasant place,

Just a miracle of song, typical of grace:

Wondrous visions charm the eye while the moments flee,

Each a message from on high sent to you and me.

See the swallows, how they roam in a ceaseless flight,
