WHAT I LOVE
I love the little birds
That flit among the flowers,
That sing their songs of praise
Through all the summer hours.

I love the little lamb
That in the meadow plays,
I love to see it run around
And watch its antic ways.

I love the murmuring brook
That ripples on its course,
I love to think how it was formed
And wonder at its source.

I love the little violet
That hangs its drooping head,
And wonder why it does not rise
Above its humble bed.
