HOW CAN THE HEART UNHAPPY BE?, by                    
First Line: Now dawn the lovely days again
Last Line: How can the heart unhappy be?
Subject(s): Happiness; Melodies; Summer; Sun; Joy; Delight


Now dawn the lovely days again
When nature gives her pageantries,
And sun and rain and warm winds wake
The woods and fields to ecstasies.

Sweet throated thrush pours forth his joy
In streams of purest melodies.
Clear and tremulous, gushing, wild,
The air is full of harmonies.

Flowers along the wayside paths
Unfold their beauty as I pass;
And miracles are wrought anew
In every leaf and blade of grass.

The trees are bursting into bloom,
The white clouds drift across the sky,
The breath of summer fills the air,
The breezes chant a lullaby.

The joyous flood of life returns
As a tide from the shoreless sea,
O wondrous world, O earth so fair,
How can the heart unhappy be?
