by Lucian B. Watkins (1879 - 1921)

The Flower at My Window
Language: English 
O! my heart now feels so cheerful as I go with footsteps light
In the daily toil of my dear home; 

And I’ll tell to you the secret that now makes my life so bright —
There’s a flower at my window in full bloom. 

It is radiant in the sunshine, and so cheerful after rain; 
And it wafts upon the air its sweet perfume. 

Oft I gaze upon this flower with its blossoms pure and white. 
And I think as I behold its beauty, 
While through life we all are passing may our lives be always bright 
Like this flower at my window in full bloom.
