Once In a While.

Once In While.
once In while the sun shines out
ana me arching skies are perfect
Once in While. mid clouds of doubt,
Hopes fairest stars come peeping
through:
Our paths lead down to the meadows
Where, the sweetest blossoms nod and
smile,
And we lay aside our cross of care
once In while
Once in while within our own
We clasp the hand of steadfast
friend;
once in a while we hear a tone
OF love. with the hearts own voice to
blend;
And the dearest of all our dreams come
And on lfe's way is golden smile,
Each thirsting flower IS kissed with dew,
once IN while.
Once in a while in the desert sands
We find spot Of the fairest green;
Once in while from where we stand
The hills of Paradise are seen;
And perfect joy in our hearts We hoid'
A JOY that the world cannot defile,
We trade earths dross for the purest
once in a while.
