Dear thoughts are in my mind
and my soul it soars enchanted
As I hear the sweet lark sing
in the clear air of the day
For a tender beaming smile
to my hope has been granted
And tomorrow he shall hear
all my fond heart longs to say
I will tell him all my love
all my soul s pure adoration
And I know he will hear my voice
and he will not answer me nay
It s this that gives my soul
all it s joyous elation
As I hear the sweet lark sing
in the clear air of the day
It s this that gives my soul
all it s joyous elation
As I hear the sweet lark sing
in the clear air of the day
