The WEAKNESS over the task will be done,
Some sweet thing is coming to every one

After awhile is prosperous day;
Then We shall have all the wisdom we need;
Our earnest cndeavors shall always succeed,
Till every ideal expand to II deed

After awhile is an cffulgent day,
When our fugitive treasure shall all he Sc.

And we shall forget that we ever were poor,
When patience shall blossom and friendship
endure
After awhile.
After awhile is halcyun day,
When the love we have lavshed our bosoms
shall bless;
Then shall be true every hand that we press,
The hearts we contide in, the lips we cares
After awhile.

Filled with all comfort and Tree from all fear,
And thrilled with all love. All ! il only twas
