Lights and Shadows

Jf all be woes and tears of life
Have really come to me,
Shall forget my joy intense
Or that they could not be
Unless ID known the sweeter thought
That formed of life part,
And made the light that could reflect
These shadows OH my heart?
If life had been all dark to me
There d be no shadows [ could see.
