leth without his notice."
Not now, but in the coming year.

Well read the meaning Of our tears
And there sometime well understand.
Well catch the broken threads aeain,
And finish what we here began:
Heaven will the mysteries explain
And then. ah then. Wen understand.
Wen know why clouds instead Of sun.
We're over many q cherished plan;
Why song has ceased when scarce begun.
'Tis there sometime well understand.
Why what we longed for most Of al.
Eludes so oft our eager hand.
Why hopes are crushed and castles fall,
Up there sometime we'n understand.
God knows the way, he holds the key,
He guides us with unerring hand;
Sometime with fearless eye wen see.
Yes there up there. we'll understand.
