ALL ON A GOLDEN SUMMER DAY

All on a golden summer day,

As through the leaves a single ray

Of yellow sunshine finds its way

So bright, so bright;

The wakened birds that blithely sing

Seem welcoming another spring;

While all the woods are murmuring

So light, so light.

All on a golden summer day,

When to my heart a single ray

Of tender kindness finds its way,

So bright, so bright;

Then comes sweet hope and bravely dares

To break the chain that sorrow wears —

And all my burdens, all my cares

Are light, so light!
