DoN.T WORRY. DEAR.

Don't worry, dear; the bleakest years
That clog the forward view
Each thins to nothing when II nears,
And we may Saunter through
The darkest moment never comes,
1t only looms before;
The loss of hope is what benumbs.
Not trouble at the door.
Don't worry. dear: the clouds are black
But with them comes the rain,
And stifed souls that parch and crack
May thrill with sap again.
The burden bear as best we can,
And there'll he none to bear;
Hard work has never killed man.
But worry did its share.
Don't worry. dear; don't blanch, don't yield.
But dare the years to come
Nor give the enemy the field
Because he beats his drum
These little woes that hover near
Are nothing. though they gall;
We know that life is love my dear
And life and love are all
