The Miracle of Song.

Like the faint wind across the twilight
air,
And then a whisper as a drifted wing,
Softly as first the buds unfold IN
Then suddenly to know that you are
You, who may keep sweet things forever
And in your magic of strange wander
Down all the years hold youth simple
And iife's high goal above world of
care.
Be ever near glad messenger of Joy.
For all your tears are but tender
And your soft voice resounds amid
strange miracle that time cannot de-
Stroy,
Holding the beauty of each little while
Within the music of a ceaSeless song.
