i hear through all the solemn pines
The South winds pleasant flow,
And see the clouds, like happy things,
Ger fields of azure 60
While all the sorrow from the earth
Seems melting with the snow.
The robin and the bluebird sing
Ger meadows brown and bare;
They cannot know what wondrous bloom
Is softly budding there;
But ali the JOY their hearts outpour
Seems pulsing in the air.
And zoe will sing, though all our days
Seem dark with pain and loss
We know that Sorrows furnace heat
Consumes alone our dross;
We know that our dear Fathers love
Gives both our crown and cross.
Oh, while beneath the snow-drift buds
The flower We love the best,
And on the wind-tossed bough the bird
Still builds its happy nest,
Praise God for all the good we know,
And trust him for the rest
