Lovely is the bird’s sweet, simple song,
That dances in the warm summer wind,
Flying over the mountain tops,
As it brings about a quiet peace.

Lovely are the garden’s flowers,
That grow to the bird’s delightful song,
Shining in the early morning sun,
As they bring about a wild beauty.

Lovely is the child’s whispered wish,
That lives in the garden’s flowers,
Growing with magic and love,
As it brings about a lively dream.

Lovely is the man’s happiness,
That grew from a child’s wish,
Remembering the earlier years,
As it makes a comforting memory.

Lovely is the world’s life,
That made a man’s memory,
Changing always with the time,
As it brings a different story to every day.
