SONGS OF THE SEA CHILDREN: 89 by BLISS CARMAN

First Line: THE RAIN ON THE ROOF IS YOUR LAUGHTER
Last Line: MY HEART HOLDS FOR YOU.
Subject(s): SPRING; HAPPINESS;

The rain on the roof is your laughter;
The wind in the eaves is your sigh;
The sun on the hills is your gladness
In Spring going by.
The sea to its uttermost morning,
Gold-fielded, unfrontiered and blue,
Is the light and the space and the splendour
My heart holds for you.
