And it gladdeneth the earth, and the sky, and the sea,
'Till the world laugheth out in her fullness of glee!
See it all smileth fairest—'tis beauty above,
In Heaven and Earth 'tis but beauty and love;
With harmony dancing—a scene like a dream,
When Heaven comes down on the spirit to beam!
Oh the water! the water! man, quaff its bright flow;
It will gladden thy spirit, but give thee no woe:
As it fresh'neth the world, so its rills will impart
Health, gladness, and sweetness and joy to thy heart.
