Show A Song of Bright Days. J What's the use of sighin' 'cause the i world is goin' wrong. ! When th? birds are jest a-tryiu' of a halleluia song? Seein' shadders of a tomb. j When, in spite of all the gloom. The violet in the snowdrift is a-fixin' j for to bloom. I ! What's the use of sighin", when you i know a sky of blue I: just behind the shadders, an' a- j smilin' sweet for you'.' j When the larks are on the wing. ' When the sunny rivers sing. I An' the meadows are a-waitin' on the Ij promise o' the spring! You just can't change the comin' or the goin' o' the years; j Let the winds do all your sighin' Let the clouds weep all your trars! 'Spite of shadders o' the night There is love an' -there is light. An' the stars that shine above you They bring heaven to your sight! Frank L. Stanton in Atlantic Constitution. |
