O sunny days of June divine,
Fresh beauty each hour discloses!
Of blossoming meadows, and zephyrs benign,
And in the gardens with fruit and vine,
Heart's-ease and Roses!
Heart's-ease and Roses; a perfume strong
The mellowing vineyards are giving!
The nights so lang'rous, the days so long!
So beaming the brow and so ringing the song!
Such joy but in living!
Yon leafy arbor all tremulous there,
Doth sigh as at night it reposes,
Rich blessings fill all the scented air
With rapture surpassing; and ev'rywhere
Heart's-ease and Roses!
