May everyday be like this

I beheld a marine rainbow above in the heavens,

It was still early, at seven, and the spring dove

Was in her sweet nest, my lonely heart rose.

And my drowsy soul felt joyous. Ah, I do hope

The day will be pretty nice, and the sun is shining.

Gladly upon the pearl dew, relesing streams

Of flavour and the hue, may every day be like this.

So I may not miss, ah, Mary, your present kiss.
