WHO WOULD NOT KNEEL IN PRAYER
When happiness with lavish hand
Is casting flowers before us-
When life seems void Of care or pain;

While Love and Hope are lowering near
Like angels bright and fair.
Who would not then In MankfuineSs,
Who would not knee in prayer2
When sorrow broods with darksome wing
And shadows every JOY
When Friendships smile all hollow seems
Aud Love proves but alloy;
When DER the tomb of buried hopes
Our hearts lie bleeding there
Who would not in an hour like this,
Who would not kneel in prayer.
When Deaths cold icy hand Is laid

And plead for mercy there
Who would not then imploringig,
Who would not kneel In prayer2
