NH. there are lots Of kinds Of
light 70 keep the pathway
clear and when the sun
fades with the night the little stars
are here. It's true their rays are
not 50 bright as is the days great
king. bat when I see their twink
ling light I always want to sing.
They seem 90 brave. they shine 20
far, they make me glad to know
the light from such a distant star
can show me where to 20. And
with their softly falling beam
through midnight's darkest gloom,
they bring q glory and a CLEAN,
they MI the world with bloom. For
" is true the whole way through,
although some great light dies
some other light will shine for you,
a-bloom IN iife's dark skies. The
one great hope, the one great love
these sometimes fail and fade: but
how serenely there above the stars
dispei the shade. The star OF trust
the star Of peace, the star Of calm
content, these bring to pain a swift
surcease wheFe'er their light In
spent. And brighter as the night
grows deep the stars OF friendShip
CLEAN, the thick and dark the
shadows creep, strong is their con-
slant beam. There is the light, 20
clear and white, OF faith that an
is well: there is the radiance, ten
der. bright, Of calm words cannot
tell. Then there are loving words
for light and light OF ehfIdhood'E
cheer. How sweet they CLEAN, how
pure, how bright. the stars that
stiil are near! The starlight'S
fainter than the day, but an! how
good to know that when the sun
has passed away, the steadfast
stars will glow!
