FOR EACH AND EVERY JOYFUL THING:
For each and every joyful thing,
For twilight swallows on the wing,
For all that nest and all that sing;
For fountains cool that laugh and leap,
For rivers running to the deep,
For happy, care-forgetting sleep;
For stars that pierce the somber dark,
For morn, awaking with the lark,
For life new-stirring 'neath the bark;
For sunshine and the blessed rain,
For budding grove and blossoming lane,
For the sweet silence of the plain;
For bounty springing from the sod,
For every step by beauty trod....
For each dear gift of joy
THANK GOD!
