A bird in the wildwood is singing,
While a squirrel is seeking her all:
A stag lifts his head as he listens,
But he gives back no answering call.
A hunter is stealthily creeping
As he follows a leaf covered trail;
The sun through green branches is streaming
In a world where life strives to prevail.
Where sorrow now mingles with beauty,
With the blue of God's Heaven above:
Some day, the Great Master hath promised
Life redeemed shall abide in His love.
