In The Heart Of The Woods

IN THE HEART OF THE WOODS
4032

In the heart of the woods there is love
I know, for I found!
There’s a carpet spread down for your feet,
There are fragrances, lulling and sweet,
There are posies abloom all around,
And a banner of blue floats above
In the heart of the woods there is song
I know, for I heard!
There’s a harmony flung on the air,
There are flashes of tune debonnair,
And the witness of many a bird,
In the chorus both constant and strong

In the heart of the woods there is rest
I know, to my gain!
There’s a moss-covered couch for repose,
There’s a mantle, the kindly sun throws,
And a soul may be emptied of pain
At the fountain of Nature’s fair breast
