RB04 Sunshine And Laughter 1921 'The Rebel Maid'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 26 Apr 2005

Sunshine and laughter,
happy and free;
flowers of the meadow and call of the sea.
Wonder of life at early dawn;
gladness of joyous heart
when a love is newly born.

Sunshine and laughter,
happy and free;
flowers of the meadow and call of the sea.
These fill the world with joy and song,
and all sweet maiden
all to thee belong.

Dear friends, can I believe my eyes;
how could you give me such a sweet surprise?
But scarce a week ago I came this way,
feeling a trifle lonely for a day.
Yet I have been just like a Queen
treated by all of you.

Accept my love and thanks;
it breaks my heart
to think that friends must ever need to part.
Still, for today let us be gay.
Sadness may come in soon!

Sunshine and laughter,
happy and free;
flowers of the meadow and call of the sea.
Wonder of life at early dawn;
gladness of joyous heart
when a love is newly born.

Sunshine and laughter,
happy and free;
flowers of the meadow and call of the sea.
These fill the world with joy and song,
Ah.........
