ling for fair?Gee! but its great! Have you climbed a hill at sunrise?Seen the glorious waking of day?One glimpse of its glorious splendour.So much more than makes the trip pay.Gee ! but its great! Have you chopped the wood for a fire,To cook the simplest of fare?Surrounded by wind, trees, and flowers,Consumed with pure joy and not care?Gee ! but its great! Breakfast by, Im fresh for tramping,Over hill and dale and through glen,Hearing the birds sing their love songs,In tones I so wish I could pen.Gee ! but its great! Next to a cold spring for luncheon,Sweet dreams of the joys of the morn,Thoughts of the friends who are working,Im surely glad I was born.Gee ! but its great! On through the day till the home call,Brings me back at the close of day,A hunger like that of a wolf pack,For food I was willing to pray.Gee! but its great! God gave us power to enjoy things,I gave thanks as I dropped to sleep,Its wondrous communing with nature,Of its laws, so wise, and so deep.Gee ! but its great!
