Maine Gossip
Gospels.

Two gospels there are of the years
That haunt men, and follow them after;
And one is the gospel of tears.
The other the gospel of laughter.
The gospel of laughter is good,
For it sweetenS the gall of our sorrow:
Therethrough is slow anguish withstood.
And the spirit trussed up for the NOR
row.
The gospel of tears is divine
For it makes us draw closer together,
And shows us the beacon and sign
Of souls in life's stormiest weather.
Two gospels there are of the years.
Rich browning our grief and our pleas
ure;
The gospel of laughter, of tears.
With meanings that man may not meas
ure.
