As l went down the street.

OF bleak November weather

I heard q footstep behind me,
And the sound of a merry laugh
And l knew the heart it came from
Would be like a comforting staff
In the time and the hour of trouble.
Hopeful and brave and strong,

When we think all things 20 WRONG

OF q brave and daring will;
A face with a promise in it,
That, God grant, the years fulfill
He went up the pathway, singing,

Grow bright with a wordless welcoma
AS sunshine warns the skies.

That loving face hat was lifted
For what some mothers miss,

From lads in love with their mothers.

And tho boy who kissed his mother.
