No doubt the proverb has it right,
A little sunshine by the way.
A little storm that fades awayl
A little laughter or sigh.
We voice them; than then we wonder
why.
A little hope that comes to naught;
An hour Of splendor dearly bought
A proud ambition laid aside
To clear the way for greater pride!
A little nonsense, grave or gay,
Keeps old earth moving on its way.
