The Flower at My Window

O! my heart now feels so cheerful as I go with footsteps light

In the daily toil of my dear home;

And I'll tell to you the secret that now makes my life so bright —

There's a flower at my window in full bloom.

It is radiant in the sunshine, and so cheerful after rain;

And it wafts upon the air its sweet perfume.

Oft I gaze upon this flower with its blossoms pure and white.

And I think as I behold its beauty,

While through life we all are passing may our lives be always bright

Like this flower at my window in full bloom.
