Tell me not this world is nauyht 6nt bright,
Nor with great Pope: Whatever Is il right !"
| That all cur years are spent on beds of flowers
| With sweet culling oders In ovest bowers
Tell me not while in brightest visions and

That bMckncss and sorrow doos not enter lifo's
| scenes.
Gladly we'd believe thee il il were so.
But in truth the world has its woe;
For we turn with thoughts oil gloomy and

To the homes the Tornado has left us no more.
Lovely homes whose hearths were cheerful

That hurled men and women from life's very
