CHEER UP.

Look up! look up, we moody folks,
Who will not turn your eyes
To find the bright and bluest spots
Which linger in the skies!
Why do you hunt for shadows, when
The shine is what you need?
That 1.-The bright side is the right side"
Is very true, indeed!
Why, when you see the roses fair,
Look for the thorns they hide;
AS tho the thorns were all they gave,
And they had naught beside?
Why mar your pleasure with the fear
Lest pain should Turk behind
And blame your foes which, after all,
You try so hard to find?
Cheer up; cheer up, you moody ones!
Look for the "bit of blue"
And when you find 1t you will feel
The warm sun shining through.
And If the shadows come, why, then
Just wait awhile; you'll find
That clouds can't last forever
When the sun lies just behind.
