Question

The buds are all opening: the dews on the flower:

lf you shake but a branch, see there falls quiet a shower.

The lark's singing gaily; it loves the bright sun,

And rejoices that now the gay spring is begun;

For the spring is so cheerful, I think it would bewrong

lf we do not feel happy to hear the lark'ssong.

Get up; for when all things are merry and glad,

Good children should never be lazy and sad:

For God gives us daylight, dear sister,that we

May rejoice like the lark, and may work like the bee.
