Look forth, then, with no careless eye,
On all so bright beneath, above,
And read thou, in the laughing sky,
A lesson of eternal love.
Oh gaze upon the faithful year,
Bright in returning beauty shine,
And learn to trust the ceaseless care
That guides earth's changing course, and thine.
On all so bright beneath, above,
And read thou, in the laughing sky,
A lesson of eternal love.
Oh gaze upon the faithful year,
Bright in returning beauty shine,
And learn to trust the ceaseless care
That guides earth's changing course, and thine.
