The garden lies in dreamy rest,
And family its balmy 0d0rs rise;
The bees move slowly on honied quest,
And over il all the sunshine lies.
The air Is laden with breath of flowers:
Ambrosial as though meath summer skies,
A fragrant, siren-song Of dying hours.
While over them all the sunshine lies.
The yine-leaves gather a lusty hue,
They shrivel, and here and there one dies
Yet still the sky is brilliantly blue.
And over II all the sunshine lies.
The birds glad songs are all hushed and still,
Their happy notes turned TO mournful cries
And Autumn warnings the landscape hll.
Yet over it all the sunshine lies.
The earth has finished her summer task
OF fruitage and flowers, and glowing skies,
And now she rests meath drOwsy mask,
While over her warm the sunshine lies.
So when our labor Of life is Ger,
And backward we turn our fading eyes,
May we rejoice as we near life's shore,
Then over il all the sunshine lies.
The toll and trouble, pain and strife,
With Joys intermingled may no sigh
| Breathe forth because Of our little life,
For over il all may sunshine lie.
