The Grass,

The grass, the grass, the beautiful grass,
That brightens this land of ours,
Oh, why do we rude1y let it pass,
And only praise the flowers:
The blossoms of spring small joys would bring,
And the summer bloom look sad,
Were the earth not green, and the distant scene
in its emerald robes not clad,
Then sing the grass, the beautiful grass,
That brightens this land of ours;
For there is not blade by nature made
Less perfect than the flowers.
The grass, the grass, the feathery grass.
That waves in the summer wind,
That stays when the flowers all fade and pass,
Like dear old friend, behind;
That clothes the hills, and the valley fills,
When the trees stripped and bare;
Oh, the land would be like a wintry sea
Did the grass not linger there;
Then sing the grass, the bonny green grass
That to all such a charm lend;
For tits staunch and true the whole year through
And to all faithful friend
The grass, the grass, the bountiful grass,
Oh, well may the gift endure,
That never was meant for creed or class,
But grows for both rich and poor;
Long may the land be great and grand
Where the emerald turf is spread;
NAV bright green grass, when from earth we pass
Lie lightly DER each head.
Then sing the grass, the bountiful grass,
That stays like a dear old friend
For, whatever our fates, 1t kindly waits
And it serves US to the end
