1 'Tis summer, glorious summer,--
Look to the glad green earth,
How from her grateful bosom
The herb and flower spring forth,
How from her grateful bosom
The herb and flower spring forth.
2 These are her rich thanksgivings,
The incense floats above!
Father! what may we offer?
Thy chosen flower is love,
Father! what may we offer?
Thy chosen flower is love.
3 'Tis summer, blessed summer.--
The lofty hills are bright;
All Nature's fountains sparkle,--
Shall ours have lesser light?
All Nature's fountains sparkle,--
Shall ours have lesser light?
4 No! bid each spirit praise Him,
Who hangs on every tree
A thousand living lyres,
Awaking harmony,
A thousand living lyres,
Awakening harmony.
