1. The sunshine is a glorious thing
That comes alike to all,
Lighting the peasant´s
lonely cot
,
The noble´s painted
hall.
2. The moonlight is a gentle thing;
It through the window gleams
Upon the snowy pillow where
The happy infant dreams.
3. It shines upon the fisher´s boat
Out on the lonely sea,
And where the little lambkins
lie,
Beneath the old oak tree.
4. The dewdrops on the summer morn
Like diamonds
deck
the grass;
The village children brush them off
That through the meadows pass.
5. Blithe
robin on the pear-tree sings
Beside the cottage door;
The heath
-flower fi lls the air with swee
Upon the pathless moor
.
6. There are as many lovely things,
As many pleasant tones
,
For those who sit by cottage hearths
As those who sit on thrones.
