Sparkling dew on a bright, bright morn, Golden light spreading over the lawn.

This is the day God blessed for me, As I stamp and jump in a grassy sea.

Thank you, O Lord, for the mist that weaves; For sun-kissed clouds and harvest sheaves;

For friends at play where seagulls soar; For sandcastles, bright shells and ocean’s roar;
