Lyics

See where the rising sun

In splendor decks the skies,

His daily course begun,

Haste, and arise.

Oh!  come with me where violets bloom,

And fill the air with sweet perfume,

And where, like diamonds to the sight,

Dew-drops sparkle bright.



Fair is the face of morn;

Why should your eye-lids keep

Closed when the night is gone?

Wake up from your sleep!

Oh!  who would slumber in his bed

When darkness from his couch has fled;

And when the lark ascends on high,

Warbling songs of joy.
