SOMEWHERE.

Somewhere the wind IS blowing.
| thought as toiled along
In the burning heat of the nountide
And the fancy made me strong
Yes, somew here the wind Is blowing,
Though here where gasp and sigh
Not breath of air is stirring,
Not cloud in the burning sky
Somewhere the thing We long for
Exists ON earth : wide bound,
Somewhere the sun IS shining
When winter nipS the ground,
Somewhere the flowers are springing,
Somewhere the corn is brown
And ready unto the harvest
To feed the hungry town.
Somewhere the twilight gathers,
And weary men lay by
The burden of the daytime
And, wrapped in Slumher, lie:
SomeM here the day is breaking,
And gloom and darkness flee,
Though storms our lark are tossing,
There's somewhere IA placid sea,
And thus, l thought, It's always,
In this mysterious life,
There's always Eladnesl semow here
In spite Of its pain and strife,
And somewhere the sin and sorrow
OF earth are known no more.
Somewhere our weary spirits
Shall find a peaceful shore
Somewhere the things that Try US
Snail all have passed away
And doubt and fear no longer
Impede the perfect day.
oh, brother, though the dafkncss
Around thy soul he Gust,
The earth is rolling snnward,
And light shall come at lastl
