And break the fond faith th.. you trusted for

Give her your blessing. though given in tears
All may seem lonely, and life but repining.
Yet. never forget, in the gloomiest place.
Behind yon dark cloud. in her bright beauty shin

A sweet. smiling Providence hides her fair face
Be of good cheer and then fill up your measure,
Grief flies away from the presence of mirth.
Be of good heart for there's not left treasure
Like gladness and love the face of the earth.
Be of good heart let whatever come DER Us,
Call not the past back its griefs to deplore
But give to dear Friendship your voices in chorus
And Love! darling Love ali yes. Love ever
