Full Lyrics
Oh! summer days! Oh! summer days!
What sweet delight ye bring,
When peace and hope and joy and love
Smile over everything.
There’s music in the rippling rill,
And in the zephyr’s kiss;
The world is thrilled with melody,
And bathed in happiness.
Oh! summer nights! Oh! summer nights!
How full of tender balm,
When peace and hope and joy and love
Are fraught with perfect calm.
There’s scarce a sound disturbs the air,
The stars shine bright on high,
And life, in smiling summertime,
Is one long ecstasy.
