I’m found in every mountain,In every running vale,Though never in the breezes found,I’m found in every gale.You’ll find me in the dark,But never in the light;You’ll always find me in the day,But never in the night.About your form, dear little one,You’ll vainly look for me,And yet in head, and hand, and armI’m always sure to be.I’m not in nose, or eye, or lips,Yet I’m in every feature,In boys and girls I’m never found,Yet I’m in every creature.I’m found inMerry’s Magazine—In Uncle Merry’s face;And everywhere Aunt Sue appears,I claim an honest place.

I’m found in every mountain,In every running vale,Though never in the breezes found,I’m found in every gale.

I’m found in every mountain,

In every running vale,

Though never in the breezes found,

I’m found in every gale.

You’ll find me in the dark,But never in the light;You’ll always find me in the day,But never in the night.

You’ll find me in the dark,

But never in the light;

You’ll always find me in the day,

But never in the night.

About your form, dear little one,You’ll vainly look for me,And yet in head, and hand, and armI’m always sure to be.

About your form, dear little one,

You’ll vainly look for me,

And yet in head, and hand, and arm

I’m always sure to be.

I’m not in nose, or eye, or lips,Yet I’m in every feature,In boys and girls I’m never found,Yet I’m in every creature.

I’m not in nose, or eye, or lips,

Yet I’m in every feature,

In boys and girls I’m never found,

Yet I’m in every creature.

I’m found inMerry’s Magazine—In Uncle Merry’s face;And everywhere Aunt Sue appears,I claim an honest place.

I’m found inMerry’s Magazine—

In Uncle Merry’s face;

And everywhere Aunt Sue appears,

I claim an honest place.
