The Dawn of Day.

Over the hilltop, far away,
Merrily rose the sun;
The squirrel bounded along the spray,
And one by one
The birds of the forest that all night long
In silent slumber lay
Woke with beautiful wave of song
To greet the day.
Out of the fields of daisies white,
See, see the children run;
Their hearts are gay and their eyes are
bright,
As all must be that take delight
In the morning sun,
And those who love the early ray
Are capital friends through all the day.
Then up and out; away we run
To say Good morning to the sun.
Then up and out and away
To greet the day;
With cheerful hearts and merry lay
To greet the day.
