All the world is bright by Henry Edward Hodson — Lyrics
All the world is bright,
All my heart is merry,
Violets and roses red,
Sparkling in the dew.
Brow— the lily’s white;
Lip— the crimson berry;
Hark! I hear a lightsome tread,—
Ah! my love ’tis you!
Wing to me, birds, and sing to me;
None so happy as I!
Only the merriest melodies bring to me
When my beloved is nigh.°
All the air is sweet,
