303. Blossoms Lift Their Sunny Faces

1 Blossoms lift their sunny faces
To the light,
Even in the shaded places
Smiling bright;
If the skies be dark and drear,
Or if skies be blue,
Just as smiling they appear;
Is it so with you?

Refrain:
Is it so with you?
Is it so with you?
Can you, on a darksome day,
Smile the heavy hours away?
Flowers can and do;
Is it so with you?

2 Flowers give their fragrant greeting
Ev’rywhere,
All the breezes in their meeting
Give a share;
If the breeze be soft and warm,
Parched or moist with dew,
Or the token of a storm,
Is it so with you? [Refrain]

3 Songbirds lift their voice in gladness
All day long,
Giving joy in place of sadness
By their song;
When the sunset hour is near,
When the day is new,
Singing out a note of cheer,
Is it so with you? [Refrain]
