With a careless grace in his quiet limbs.
And a wound m6r 91 h aiss manly brow

While the shadows pass

SUNSHINE AND SHADOW.
Sunshine and shadow.
Now under over.
Are kissing the leaves
In their own tender way
Warmly and softly,
All in the I light OF this glad summer day
Over and under,
World full of wonder,
Shadow and sunshine.
Sunshine and shade,
The leaves send their CULVER
To the heart of the river.
Which answering gives them
Their likeness again.
Shadow and sunshine,
Now over. under,
Are kissing her form
With their own tender grace.
Softly and warmly
Adding their graces,
Resting all lovingly on her dear face.
World full Of wonder.
Shadow and sunshine.
Sunshine and snade.
Ny heart as the river
That reflects the leaves culver
Her likeness again.
