WHERE I'D LIKE TO BE.

Where the honeysuckle sweetens with us
breath the woodland fair,
Where rustling leaves are nodding IN the
lazy morning air,
And the birds are scatt'ring gossip from the
foliage-covered tree
Among those beauties, dreaming, is whereld
like to be.
Where the music of the brooklet as it fashes'
sparkling bright,
Over glistening sandy bottom, echoes TO me
in its fight,
And the playful ray of sunlight, as 1t steals
through blossoms sweet
Finds its picture in the bosom OF the water at
my feet
Where the trembling, blue-eyed violet peeps
out with timid grace
From grass that's gladly raining loving
kisses on its face
Where the golden-colored daisy mods well
come soft to me
In the calm, still heart of nature is where q
like to be.
