Glad Day
Here’s another day, dear,Here’s the sun againPeeping in his pleasant wayThrough the window pane.Rise and let him in, dear,Hail him “hip hurray!”Now the fun will all begin.Here’s another day!Down the coppice path, dear,Through the dewy glade,(When the Morning took her bathWhat a splash she made!)Up the wet wood-way, dear,Under dripping greenRun to meet another day,Brightest ever seen.Mushrooms in the field, dear,Show their silver gleam.What a dainty crop they yieldFirm as clouted cream,Cool as balls of snow, dear,Sweet and fresh and round!Ere the early dew can goWe must clear the ground.Such a lot to do, dear,Such a lot to see!How we ever can get throughFairly puzzles me.Hurry up and out, dear,Then—away! away!In and out and round about,Here’s another day!

Here’s another day, dear,
Here’s the sun again
Peeping in his pleasant way
Through the window pane.
Rise and let him in, dear,
Hail him “hip hurray!”
Now the fun will all begin.
Here’s another day!
Down the coppice path, dear,Through the dewy glade,(When the Morning took her bathWhat a splash she made!)Up the wet wood-way, dear,Under dripping greenRun to meet another day,Brightest ever seen.
Down the coppice path, dear,
Through the dewy glade,
(When the Morning took her bath
What a splash she made!)
Up the wet wood-way, dear,
Under dripping green
Run to meet another day,
Brightest ever seen.
Mushrooms in the field, dear,Show their silver gleam.What a dainty crop they yieldFirm as clouted cream,Cool as balls of snow, dear,Sweet and fresh and round!Ere the early dew can goWe must clear the ground.

Such a lot to do, dear,
Such a lot to see!
How we ever can get through
Fairly puzzles me.
Hurry up and out, dear,
Then—away! away!
In and out and round about,
Here’s another day!
