And you and happiness, alasl were

And let the seas soft monotone speak

On the cherished plan or project that

Did you ever bend your footsteps to
some green and tranquil dell.
Where the trees grow leaves for heal

When death had cast its shadow, and a
loving voice was still
Shat had been as tender music to the
sunshine Of your day,
Did you ever take your sorrow to the
