Give me this day some small delight.
Some simple joy to cheer my soul.
A singing bird upon the bough,
A drifting cloud in sky’s blue bowl;
The pealing laughter of my child,
The glint of sunshine on his hair,
The feel of his warm hand in mine,
Of these dear things make me aware;
A blossom in the garden spot,
The music of the poplar trees,
The fragrance of a dew-washed earth,
What could enchant more than these?
Grant me the perception that I may
Live deeply through this chartless day,
And when I go to sleep tonight
Be thankful for each small delight.
