The Little Minstrel ‎#124

124. Morning Song

1 Come join us, companions,
Come join the happy throng:
All voices uniting
To sing our morning song.
Here sorrow and sadness
Ne'er mingle with the lay,
Here pleasure and gladness
Will drive dull care away.
We come, we come,
Nor would we roam,
To swell the happy lay,
With hearts so light,
'Tis our delight
To drive dull care away.
Come join us, come join us,
And swell the happy numbers,
With pleasure uniting,
To drive dull care away.

2 Our school-days seem brighter,
And swiftly glide along;
Our tasks all seem lighter
From this our morning song;
For music will give us
Pure happiness and zest,
From studies relieve us,
And prove a welcome rest.
We come, we come,
Nor would we roam,
To swell the happy lay,
With hearts so light,
'Tis our delight
To drive dull care away.
Come join us, come join us,
And swell the happy numbers,
With pleasure uniting,
To drive dull care away.
