Author: Jennie Wilson Hymnal: Uplifted Voices #158 (1901) Lyrics: 1 In the shady woodlands,
Sweet it is to roam,
When in golden splendor
Summer days have come.
Refrain:
In the shady woodlands,
‘Mong the sylvan bow’rs,
Sweet it is to wander,
Spending happy hours.
2 ‘Mong the leafy treetops,
All the bright day long,
Joyous little wild birds
Flood the air with song. [Refrain]
3 There the laughing brooklets
Babble on their way,
Where cool reeds and willows
O’er their waters sway. [Refrain]
4 Soft wind-music murmurs
Through the forest aisles,
While glad woodland voices
Answer Summer’s smiles. [Refrain] Tune Title: [In the shady woodlands]
In the Shady Woodlands
