Upon the sadness of the sea
The sunset broods regretfully,
From the far lonely spaces slow
Withdrawn the wistful after glow.
So out of life the splendor dies
So darken all the happy skies,
So gathers twilight. cold ana stern,
But overhead the planets burn.
And up the East another day,
Shall chase the bitter dawn away,
What though our eyes with tears be wet!
The sunrise never failed us yet.
The blush of dawn may vet restore
Our light. and hope and joy once more.

That sunrise never failed us vet.
