Go out, go out I beg of you And taste the beauty of the wild.
Behold the miracle of the earth With all the wonder of a child.

Does the winged life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity's sun rise

O'ercast and chill was the day.
A mist in the valley lying,
Blotted the pleasant May.

There is a rapture on the lonely shore;
 I love not man the less, but Nature more.
