CLOUDS AND SUNSHINE.
BY EMMA RoDEMEYER WATT

The blue of heaven is beyond the clouds,
 No matter how dark they may seem And by and by they will roll away,
 Revealing beauteous gleam. If heavens blue were this side of the clouds, And that should be rolling away; There'd be no joy and there'd be hope
 In looking beyond for the gray. So don't you see it is best, my dear,
 To have it just as 1t is plannedf An, clouds and sunshine are wisely blent,
 And controlled by a Master hand.
