Out of today's mad struggle and distress,
Out of its ashes and dull WEAKNESS,
Hope sweetly rises with patient grace
Strange to the fury Of life's grinding place
And, pointing DER the hills where Sometime
dwclls,
A whispered promise Of her pleasure tells.
And we, who drag our yoke DER heavy roads,
Close in the shadow of more crushing loads,
Pause whe1 the lash is still and lift our eyes
TO pictures hung against the distant skies
There we forget the sorrows Of this cline
In the glad gardens of that fair Sometime.
Tomorrow is today again renewed.
With added penalties and servitudc,
And smaller chance to dream of Sometimes
peace,
Where wasting WEAKNESS will find release.
Yet faith is stronger than our calling cares.
And so we wait but, oh, the waiting wears
