; If all who hate would love us,
 And ali our loves were true, The stars that swing above us
 Would brighten in the blue; If cruel words were kisses,
 And every Scowl a smile, A better world than this is
 Would hardly be worth while; If purses would untighten
 To meet brothers need, The load we bear would tighten Above the grave of greed. If those who whine would whistle, And those who languiSh laugh, The rose would rout the thistle,
 The grain would outrun the chai If hearts were only jolly,
 If grieving were forgot, And tears and melancholy
 Were things that now are moi .l Then love would kneel to duty, I And all the world would seem A bridal flower of beauty, . A dream within a dream. If men would cease to worry,
 And women cease to sigh, And all be glad to bury .--. Whatever has to die If neighbor spake to neighbor, ' AS love demands of all, The rust would eat the sabre, t4-~- The spear stay on the wall. Then every day would g1iSten,
