To wake up every morn with a lively song,
And inhale the stephanotis fragrance strong,
Will it not urge us to pass our summer day,
Forget the night and chase our bad dreams away?
Dawn arises above the far horizon
Thoughts and meditations really wizen,
We accept God's gift given freely to us,
Enjoy nature which He has given us thus.
Let us savour our blue lively skies so clear.
Employ all our hours in good and not in fear.
Make certain that what we do comes from our will,
Tasks of honour and charity we'll instil.
She stands before the looking glass
her wedding day is here at last
a face of porcelain - milky white
a gown of ivory - satin light
stephanotis grace her hair
never such a lady fair
fragrant lilies of early May
will be the blooms in her bouquet
in one more hour she'll say her vow
before the altar she will bow
she'll turn and smile to the man she weds
and everyone will bow their heads
down the aisle as man and wife
out in the world to start their life
