A meadow green, an "a sky o blue.
Providence painted en- both for you.
Lilies an roses in beautiful RANKS
| A bird in the blossoms singin' its thanks
But what has the heart O you got te
say?
You're thinkin' still O. the heavy load
Though the roses redden along the road
You're thinkin' still o the heavy LOAD
You must bear so long up the hlisiue
steep
Of the wheat you SOW and the tares you
IT'S ever the .;ong-it's ever the way:
You're dreamin still O. the rainy day!
So through the strife of a life you 60!
Do YOU think that Providence Wills 1t SO!
Joy in a shadowy sad eclipse
When the honey drips from the roses
lips
An the birds are singin their souls
You weep-in a dream o. the rainy day.
