The Fair Day

The Fair Day God gives to me this glorious day Of snow-clad peaks and blue-bent skies Wherein to love and dearly prize The warmth of His celestial ray. Sweet joy hath come again to reign! (What of the tempest in my heart) ! God smiles and all my fears depart; Fresh hopes, like flowers, upspring again. Ah, list! I hear yon blue bird sing, Begone old grief, begone dull care, 'Mid warmth and sunshine, everywhere Eternal Love! Eternal Spring! Salem, Utah Minnie Iverson Hodapp
