1. The world is wak’ning into light.
The dark and sullen night hath flown.
Life lives and reassumes its might,
Life lives and reassumes its might.
And nature smiles upon her throne.
And nature smiles upon her throne.

[CHORUS sung after each VERSE]
And the Lark— Hark the Lark!
She gives welcome to the day
In a merry, merry lay.
La la la la la la la la la la la la la

2. The morn, the morn is in the skies,
The reaper singeth from the corn,
The shepherd on the hill replies,
The shepherd on the hill replies,
And all things now salute the morn.
And all salute the morn.
