4 Although my life is left so dim,

The morning crowns the mountain-brim;

Joy is not gone from summer skies,

Nor innocence from children's eyes,

And all these things are part of him.

He is not banished, for the showers

Yet wake this green warm earth of ours.

How can the summer but be sweet?

I shall not have him at my feet,

And yet my feet are on the flowers.
