After All.

There is nothing in life but the JOY of the
minute,
There is nothing in love that We do not
| put in it.,
There is nothing can happen unless we
| begin it,
There is nothing worth winning hut what
| we can win il.
There is nothing so sad as to set us a
| signing,
There is nothing we'd do that is not
| worth the trying,
| There is never danger too great for de-
| flying.
| The beauty of earth it is folly denying
There is never sorrow should cause Us
| repinng,
For sorrows were made for the spirits
refining;
| So turn all your clouds inside out til
| OF silver shah rival the sun in its shin
| ing
! If YOU think that too Ion. YOU have
| waited and Striven.
| Then remember you've gotten rs much as
| you've given.
| In the loaf of your burden lust look for
| the leaven.
| For Gods in the world-and the world is
| His heaven!
