SONG: 5 by DOLLIE CAROLINE MAITLAND RADFORD

First Line: WHY AM I SINGING ALL ALONE
Last Line: IS SHINING THROUGH THE WORLD.
WHY am I singing all alone,
Outside your window here?
Because the roses are all blown,
And all the sky is clear.

Because the glen I passed was fair,
And fresh with morning dew,
Because the gold shines in your hair,
Because your eyes are blue.

Because for many a sunny mile
The hills stretch out, and furled
Is every cloud: because God's smile
Is shining through the world.
