after all the rain, the sun
shines on hill and grassy mead;
fly into the garden, child,
you are very glad indeed.
for the days have been so dull,
oh, so special dark and drear,
that you told me, 'mr. sun ☼
has forgotten we live here.'
dew upon the lily lawn,
dew upon the garden beds;
daintly from all the leaves
pop the little primrose heads.
and the violets in the copse
with their parasols of green
take a little peek at you;
they're the bluest you have seen.
on the lilac tree a bird
singing first a little not,
then a burst of happy song
bubbles in his lifted throat.
o the sun, the comfy sun!
this the song that you must sing,
❝thank you for the birds, the flowers,
thank you, sun, for everything.❞
