For every day the sun to shine,
For every cloud gentle rain,
For every tree creeping vine,
For every lovesa love again,
For every dream thought of bliss.
For every care joy be lain;
For ev cry lip a lov er's kiss,
For every soul an end to pain.
For every stem the loveliest flower,
For every leaf a drop Of dew,
For every bid leafy bower,
For every heart heart as true
For every eye sight of heaven,
For every sigh sunny smile,
For every thought a JOY be given,
For every grief bliss beguile.
For every night the silver moon,
For every eve thousand stars,
For every day sunny moon.
For every cline an end to wars,
For every man On honest name,
For every tear kind caress.
For every poet deathless fame,
For every life a happiness.
For every land the fairest cline.
For every hour a blessing shed.
For every child wreathe entwiue.
For every heart woe be fed,
For every look word of love,
For every sin pardon given,
For every aoul n life ahnvo
