The sun is up the day is fair
A sound of calm does fill the air
The birds above are on the wing
I hear the sounds they chirp and sing
The wind’s at rest among the trees
Enchanting all with gentle breeze.
I spied a sparrow in the nest
Who seems as peaceful as the rest
Of all God’s creatures that I see
And find I’m jealous as can be !
