Blue skies, and singing bird,
In the naples overhead.
Young leaves, by the Dreees stirred,
And blossoms white ana red,
The drone of the busy bee
And the hum OF ain insect band,
And our dreams, and YOU and me,
And Sumter over the land
Green fields, fenced IN from III

The sunshine full IN their face,
Young cattle with eager feet
And horses that rear and race,
Sweet bloom OF The Wild rose tree
La reach of an eager hand,
And our hopes, aud you and me
And Summer over the land
a brooklet that sings away
10 the oceans waiting breast,
Ard minnows that leap and play
Where the alder shadows rest
Gods peace upon stream and lea
And our love, and you and me,
And Summer over the land,
