May the kind earth give it food, And warm sun -- light o'er it brood,
Shower make bright, and storm make hard, And no harm its growth re -- tard.

May it give to men de -- light, Rich in shade, and fair to sight;
And while un -- told years roll by, Speak of us to mem -- o -- ry.

Lit -- tle tree, our own! we pray, Be our tea -- cher eve -- ry day;
