There's never a rose In all the world
But makes some green spray sweeter;
There's never a wind in all the sky
But makes some bird lving fieeter;
There's never star but brings to
heaven
Some silver radiance tender
And never a rosy cloud but helps
To crown the sunset splendor;
No robin but may thrill some heart,
HIS dawnlight gladness voicing.
God gives us all some small sweet way
To set the world rejoicing.
