Aeao nlm ION the pain OF wrong.
We may fill our home with music,
And with sunshine brimminH DER,
II against all dark intruders
WaNill firmly close the door
Yet should evil shadows enter,
We must love each other more.
Obi there are treasures for the lowly
Which the grandest fail to find;
There's a chain OF sweet affection
Binding friends OF kindred mind
We may reap the choicest blessings
From the poorest lot assigned.
