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.
