WE'VE ALL OUR ANGEL SIDE.


WE'VE ALL OUR ANGEL SIDE
Despair not of the better part
That lies in human kind
A CLEAN Of light still fiickereth,
In cen the darkest mind;
The savage with his club of war,
The sage so mild and good,
Are iak'd in firm, eternal bonds
OF common brotherhood.
Despair not Oh! despair not then,
y For though this world is wide,
No nature is so demon-like,
But there's an angel side. a.
The huge rough stones from out the mine,
Unsightly and unfair,
Have veins of purest metal hid
Beneath the surface there;
Few rocks SO bare but to their hearts =
Some tiny moss plant elings,
And round the peaks, so desolate,
The sea-bird sits and sings
Believe me, TOO, that rugged souls,
Beneath their rudeness hide,
Much that is beautiful and good
We've all our angel side.
In all there is an inner depth
A far of, secret way,
Where. through dim windows of the soul,
God sends his smiling ray;
In every human heart there is
A faithful sounding chord,
That may be struck unknown to US,
By some sweet loving word;
The wayward heart in vain may try
Its softer thoughts to hide,
Some unexpected tone reveals
1t has its angel side.
Despisea and low, trodden down,
Dark with the shades of sin;
Deciphsring not those holy lights,
Which God hath lit within;
Cropping aboustn utmost night,
Poor prison'd souls there are,
Who guess not what hfe's meaning is,
Nor dream. of Heaven afar;
Oh! that some gentle hand of love
Their stumbling steps would guide,
And show them that, amidst it all,
Life has its angel side.
Brutal and mean, and dark enough,
God knows some natures are,
But he, compassionate, comes near
And shall we stand afar? t..,-
Our cruse Of oil will not grow less,
Ii shared with hearty hand,
And words of peace and looks of love
Few natures can withstand.
Love is the mighty conqueror-
Love is the beauteous guide
Love with her beaming eye can see
We've all our angel side.
