Linden Harp ‎#123b

123b. Silently, silently

1 Silently, silently
Ope and close the school-room door;
Carefully, carefully
Walk upon the floor,
Let us, let us strive to be
From disorder ever free,
Happily, happily
Passing time away.

2 Cheerfully, cheerfully
Let us in our work engage;
With a zeal, with a zeal
Far beyond our age!
And if we should chance to find
Lessons that perplex the mind,
Persevere! persevere!
Never borrow fear.

3 Now we sing, now we sing
Gaily as the birds of spring;
As they hop, as hop
On the high tree top.
Let us be as prompt as they
In our work or in our play;
Happily, happily
Passing time away.
