Show LOOK NOT ON THE GLOOMY SIDE. Look not on the gloomy side, Though fortune may bring thee low; There's an ebb to every river's tide, But the flood in its turn will flow. Stand not on the gloomy side, For life hath its light and bloom; ‘Tis a pathway that's long and wide, But safer to tread at noon. Grieve not when the clouds may spread, And thy sun for a season hide; Remember there's light overhead - Each cloud hath a sunny side. Life is not a dreary waste, There are pleasures in store untried, That any who seek may taste; But they're not on the gloomy side. Why look on the gloomy side, When sorrow thy heart doth wrong? Smile proudly - for care defied, Will lose its rankling sting. |
