Life has Il burden for every mans shoul lrr,
None may escape from its troubles and
care;
Miss it in youth, and t will como when we
are older,
And fit us rs close rs the garments we
wear.
Sorrow comes into our lives uninvitcd,
Robhing our hearts of its treasure Of
song;
Lovers grow cold, and our friendships are
Sliyntcd,
Yet somehow or other we worry along.
Everyday tolls is an every day blessing,
Though povcrly's cottage and crust We
may share;
Weak is the back ON which burdens are
pressing,
But stout is the heart that is strength
cncd hy prayer.
Somehow or other the pathway grows
brighter,
just when we mourn there as none to

Hope in the heart makes the burden seem
Fighter,
AMI somehow or other We got to the
