Joy + 

There’s a soft rosy glow o’er the whole world to-day, + 

There’s a freshness and fragrance that trembles in May, + 

There’s a lilt in the music that vibrates and thrills + 

From the uttermost glades to the tops of the hills. + 

Oh! I am so happy, my heart is so light, + 

The shades and the shadows have vanished from sight, + 

This wild pulsing gladness throbs like a sweet pain⁠— + 

O soul of me, drink, ere night falleth again! + 
