ARBOR DAY MARCH.

ELLEN BEAUCHAMP.

[Air:—Marching Through Georgia]

Celebrate the Arbor Day
With march and song and cheer,
For the season comes to us
But once in every year;
Should we not remember it
And make the mem’ry dear
Memories sweet for this May day.

Chorus—Hurrah! Hurrah! The Arbor Day is here:
Hurrah! Hurrah! It gladdens every year.
So we plant a young tree on blithesome Arbor Day,
While we are singing for gladness.

Flow’rs are blooming all around,
Are blooming on this day;
And the trees with verdure clad,
Welcome the month of May,
Making earth a garden fair
To hail the Arbor Day,
Clothing all nature with gladness.
