Valentine Democrat. (Valentine, Neb.) 1900-1930, 1904-12-01
A SONG OF PATIENCE,

Only for little while
Sunny days consent to smile
All their charms must fade away
In the midsts of wintry gray.
Flowers must wither; leaves must
fall;
flushed must be the robins call.
Summers blooms but to beguile
Only for a little while.
But the SHOWS will melt at last,
Days of storms are quickly past;
Just the same as days so gay
Sun and shadows shift and play.
Quaff the pleasures while you can;
Bear the SORROWS like a man.
For the tear is, like the smile,
Only for a little while.
