Classic Poem

Gay as a lark in the sunshine of spring
Floating and singing upon the wing;
Sporting in pleasure beneath a fair sky
Happy forever just so am I
So, so, so am I
So, so, so am I
Bright is the sunshine lighting my way;
Fair is the moonlight as cheerful as day
Joyful and happy oh then let me live
Sharing the pleasures that life can give
Free as a birdling let loose from the ark
Cheerful and merry
Gay as a lark

2.

Idly I squander the moments away,
Dreaming and scheming the livelong day,
Never, oh never, to murmur and sigh,
Pining and whining? Oh no, not I,
No, no, no not I
No, no, no not I
Let me be merry, let me be gay
Life is too precious to fritter away.
