Show SINCE YESTERDAY From Chambers Journal The mavis sang but yesterday A strain that thrilled through autumns dearth He read the music of his lay In light and leaf and heaven and earth The ivindflowers by the wayside swung Words of the music that was sung 1 In all his song the shade and sun Of earth and heaven seemed to meet Its joy and sorrow were as one Its very sadness was but sweet Hfe sang of summers yet to be You listened to his song with me The heart makes sunshine in the rain Or winter in the midst of May And though the mavis sings again His selfsame song of yesterday T find no gladness in his tone Today I listen here alone Andeven our sunniest moment takes Such shadows of the bliss we know Today his throbbing Fong awakes But wistful haunting thoughts of you Its very sweetness is but sad You gave it all the joy it had A ST J ADCOCK |
