The Voice Of the Woodlands.
| It's hard to stay in the dusty town.
When you hear the hum of the bees IL
| brown
When the wind is shakln' the blossoms
down,
An the world in the light is dreamin!
When you hear the voice Of the wales in
green,
Where the sunfiower's king. an the lily's
An the oaks DER the rippled rivers lean.

A cool. soft couch meath sky of blue.
| An the angels kissin' their hands to you
| Where the world in the light is dreamin'!
