Paroles
1. Sing gaily sing! Let gladness round us ring.
This little simple cheerful lay
Shall be our parting song today.
Sing gaily sing!
2. Sing sweetly sing! What joys from home do spring!
The happy faces there we meet,
The kindly smiles we always greet.
Sing sweetly sing!
3. Sing loudly sing! What sports will evening bring!
We'll jump and race, we'll skip and hop,
We'll play at ball or hoop or top.
Sing loudly sing!
4. Sing softly sing! When dusky night doth bring.
Its shadows o'er our drowsy heads,
In heavenly peace we'll seek our beds.
Sing softly sing!
5. Sing boldy sing! When cheerful lark takes wing.
We'll rise as brisk and merry too,
Resolved our lessons well to do.
Sing boldy sing!
