by Arthur Rutherford (1882 - 1943)
Spirit of life
Language: English
Oh, I am a wave of the rolling sea, And the spray on the golden beaches, And the wind that soars to the mountain tops, And down to the lowland reaches, And the light of a sunbeam falling soft, And the lilt of a maiden's singing; For I am the voice and the joy of life That sets the echoes ringing.
