Weather is fine for loving,
And dreaming and sitting by
Hearing the harp of the evening

The lark of the morning sky
Weather is fine for 1aughin'-and
that's what most of US need
To hurry the heal of the wounds we
feel when the old sore places bleed
Weather is fine for dancing,
And delving with what life sends
To help us along to the smile and
song
And the beautiful faith of friends,
Weather is fine for fightin'-and
that's what most of us know
As over the hills and hollows strug'
Cling for JOY we go:
Weather is fine for singing
And swinging and smiling away
To the lit of the looms of twilight
The boom of the mills of day.
