The honey bees are humming it
Among the clover sweet;
It trembles in the Southern wind
That ripples o'er the wheat;
It steals to me through pleasant boughs,
It comes with brilliant bells,
And singing in the olives, Ah,
The music of her shells.
In silver letters on
Away above the seas,
The clouds so busy all the day,
Are braiding it for me,
I see it in each drop of dew
That like a diamond shines;
The iris writes it through the rain,
In many colored lines.
It is the spell that makes the hours
Run golden in the spring;
It's in the notes I love so well
To hear the wild bird sing.
In starlight and in summer flowers,
It's all the same, the same;
The music that my heart beats to,
Is that enchanted name.
