Merry flowers, divinely soft, you
Earthbound angels, whose splendid
Color, proudly displayed in Sping\'s
Light, shames e\'en Night\'s sky-bound
Jewelry!
Pray for me cherubs of the meadow,
Raise your sweet, meek voices to
Heaven; seek Father, whose beloved
Offspring you be; oh, you divinities,
Who garland His court of marble
With your shining yellow dresses,
Call upon Him; may he bless me
And my land; the be-jeweld sea
And moody mountains, verdant
Forests and fields of gold; e\'en
Upon the cities may he smile.
Spare Him no prayer, spare Him
No thought; seek Him as you seek
The light of dawn!
