To tho earnest soul thnt Is full NJ hope,
And whose beautiful truth ne.er fnlleth'
Tho grass is green. and the flowers nre

For the sweet blue sky VIII soon peep

When the ominouS clouds arc lifted,
There ncver was q night Without day.
or an evening without morning,
And the darkest hour as the provero soeS,
Is the hour tefore the dawning.
There Is many gem in the paths OF life
Which We pass In our idle pleasure
That is richer far than the ieweled crown
or the miser's hoard OF treasure;
II may be a love ~ little child,
or a mothers prayer to heaven.
Or only bcgGar's grateful thanks
For O cup of water given.
Retter 10 weave In the web Of life
