INTO EACH LIFE SOME RAIN
MUST FALL"

If this were all-Ohl if this were all,
That 'Tnto each life some rain must fall )"
There were fainter sobs in the poets rhyme
There were fewer wrecks on the shore of Time
But tempests Of woe dash over the soul,
Since words Of anguish we cannot control:
And shock, after shock, we are called to bear,
Till the lips are white with the hearts despair.
The shores of Time with wrecks are strewn;
Unto the ear comes ever moan
Wrecks of hope that set sail with glee,
Wrecks of love sinking silently.
Many are hid from the human eye,
Only God knoweth how deep they lie;
Only God heard when arose the prayer
Help me to bear-Oh help me to bear.
"Into each life some rain must fall,
If this were all-Ohl if this were all;
Yet there's a refuge from storm and blast,
Gloria Patria-will reach at last. t-tl
Be strong, be strong, to my heart cry,
The pearl in the wounded shell doth lie;
Days of sunshine are given to all,
'ho' "Into each life some rain must fall"
