Verse 1
(B major) (F sharp major) (B major) (E sharp major) I'd (F sharp major) love to rise on a
summer morn'
When the birds sing on
(F sharp major) every tree
The distant (B major) huntsman (E sharp major) whines his (F sharp major) horn
And the skylark sings with me
Oh, (E sharp major) what (F sharp major) sweet company
But to go to (E sharp major) school in the summer morn
Oh, (B major) it drives all (G sharp minor) joy (B major) away
Under (F sharp major) a cruel eye outworn
The (E sharp major) little ones (B major) spend the day
(F sharp major) In sighing (B major) and dis (F sharp major) may
Ah, then at times (E sharp major) I drooping (B major) sit,
And spend many an anxious hour,
(F sharp major) Nor in my books can I take delight,
Nor sit (B major) in learn (G sharp minor) ing's (B major) bower, (E sharp major) (F sharp major)
(E sharp major) How (F sharp major) can the bird that is born for joy
Sit in a cage and sing?
How can a child when (B major) fear's annoying
But droop his (F sharp major) tender wing
(B major) an d (E sharp major) for get his (F sharp major) youthful spring?
O father and mother, it buds a nip
And blossoms blown (B major) away
And if the tender (F sharp major) plants
are stripped of their joy
In the springing (E sharp major) day
By (F sharp major) sorrow and (B major) cares (F sharp major) dismayed.
(B major) (A sharp major) How shall the (B major) summer arise in (F sharp major) joy,
(B major) Or the summer fruits appear? (F sharp major)
(B major) For how shall we gather (F sharp major) what griefs destroy,
Or (D sharp minor) bless the (B major) mellowing (C sharp major) year
(F sharp major) When the blasts of (D sharp minor) winter ap (B major) pear?
(A sharp major) How (B major) shall the summer arise in joy
Or the summer fruits appear?
(C sharp major) Or (F sharp major) (B major) how shall we gather
what grief (F sharp major) s destroy,
(B major) Or (D sharp minor) bless (B major) the mellowing air (C sharp major)
(F sharp major) When the blasts of (B major) winter appear? now.
Ooh.
Ooh. (F sharp major)
(B major) Ooh.
In (F sharp major) the (B major) (B major) of (F sharp major) (B major)
(B major) the Father, Holy Amen.
