After the darkest midnight
The dawn again will glow:
And after the beakest winter,
Will spring tide flowers blow.
But we would not love the blossoms
If every month were May;
And we would not heed the sunlight
If il were forever day.
Though in gloom and sorrow walking,
Though our eyes be dim with tears,
If we look 10 the OVer-heaVen
Lo! rainbow there appears.
And hope shines ever the brightest
For those who have known despair;
And the promise of rest seems sweetest
To those who the burden bear.
