How Bright, How Bright can sunlight be?
That which, what warms the soul of me,
I stand alone on summer’s eve,
So undeserved, yet I receive!

Ope’ up, Ope’ up each window; door,
And, let the breeze of summer pour-
Upon your inner sanctum here,
Twill bring you joy; twill bring you cheer!

In three short months the fall wind brays,
Enjoy for now these summer days,
I thank the Lord for eyes to see,
How Bright, How Bright can sunlight be?
