Lyrics
(Lowell Mason)
Through woodland wild we sweetly stray,
Where gentle streams are flowing,
We sing away the summer day,
We sing away the summer day,
The summer day we sing away, we sing away.
We build our sheltering nest on high,
Where summer boughs are waving.
When night is high, then home we fly,
When night is high, then home we fly,
Then home we fly when night is nigh.
Fond love and peace within our nest
Have made our home so sweetly,
No fears molest our quiet rest,
No fears molest our quiet rest,
Our quiet rest no fears molest.
