by Edward Frederick Lockton (1876 - 1940), as Edward Teschemacher
Morning
Language: English
Sweet is the golden sunshine, The light on sea and land; Sweet are the birds that carol Around on ev'ry hand; The little winds that kiss the hills, And shady woods and laughing rills, And roses, daisies, daffodils How sweet! Sweet is the restless ocean That plays upon the shore; Sweet is the happy river Flowing forevermore; And ev'ry path I singing rove, The garden, meadow, and the grove, And sweet is Life and sweet is Love How sweet!
