James Russell Lowell. (Air: Buy a Broom.)

1. In - to the sun - shine, Full of the light,

2. In - to the star- light Rush - ing in spray,

3. Glad of all weath-ers, Still seeming best,

4. Cease - less as - pir - ing, Cease-less con - tent.

Leap - ing and flash - ing From morn till night!

Hap - py at mid - night, Hap - py by day!

Up - ward or down - ward, Mo - tion thy rest;—

Dark - ness or sun - shine Thy el - e - ment;—

In - to the moon-light, Whit - er than snow,

Ev - er in mo - tion, Blithe-some and cheery-y,

Full of a na - ture Noth - ing can tame,

Glo - ri - ous foun- tain! Let my heart be

Wav - ing so flower-like When the winds blow!

Still climb-ing heaven-ward, Nev - er a - weary;—

Changed ev - 'ry mo - ment, Ev - er the same;—

Fresh, changeful, con - stant, Up - ward, like thee!
