Sift Some Sunshine on the Way,
BY WILLIAM HENRY DIXON.

(Written for the Sunshine club.
Sift some sunshine on the way,
Mix it with your work and play.
Life is partly sun and song,
Cheer the weak and cheer the strong,
Scatter sunbeams all along!
You may light the darkest day,
Sitting sunshine on the way!

Find out where the sunbeams stay!
Cheer the wanderer bowed in tears,
Cropping down the weary years,
Chase away his gloom and fears;
Some are lost and strayed away,
Sift some sunshine down the day!
On life's highway up and down,
In the country and the town,
Help the weak and cheer the strong,
You will find them all along, Sd.
Sing the world your sweetest song!
