Here's a hymn to welcome in the day, heralding a summer's early sway

The thrushes bleeding battle with the wrens disrupts my reverie again

Pegging clothing on the line
Training jazzmen how to find up the arbor to your door, anymore
Standing on the landing with the war you shouldered all the night before
Chorus 1:

Once upon it, yellow bonnets, garland all along
C D G C
You were waking and day was breaking, a panoply of song
D C G
And summer comes to Springville Hill

A barony of ivy in the trees, expanding out its empire by degrees
And all the branches burst to bloom, in the boon
Heaven sent this card and all maroon did decorate our living room
