Human Nature.

If all who hate would love us,
And all our loves were true,
The stars that swing above us
Would brighten in the blue.
II cruel words were kisses,
And every scowl a smile,
A better world than this is
Would hardly be worth while.
II purses would untighten
To meet a brothers need,
The load we bear would tighten
Above the grave of greed.
II those who whine would whistle
And those who languish laugh,
The rose would route the thistle,
The grain outrun the chaff.
If hearts were only Jolly,
If grieving were forgot,
And tears and melancholy
We're things that now are not.
Then love would kneel to duty,
And all the world would seem
a bridal bower of beauty,
A dream within a dream.
