We laugh when our souls are the saddest	A
We shroud all our griefs in a smile	B
Our voices may warble their gladdest	A
And our souls mourn in anguish the while	B
	-
And our eyes wear a summer's bright glory	C
When winter is wailing beneath	D
And we tell not the world the sad story	C
Of the thorn hidden back of the wreath	D
	-
Ah fast flow the moments of laughter	E
And bright as the brook to the sea	C
But ah the dark hours that come after	E
Of moaning for you and for me	C
	-
Yea swift as the sunshine and fleeting	F
As birds fly the moments of glee	C
And we smile and mayhap grief is sleeting	F
Its ice upon you and on me	C
	-
And the clouds of the tempest are shifting	F
O'er the heart tho' the face may be bright	A
And the snows of woe's winter are drifting	F
Our souls and each day hides a night	A
	-
For ah when our souls are enjoying	F
The mirth which our faces reveal	G
There is something a something alloying	F
The sweetness of joy that we feel	G
	-
Life's loveliest sky hides the thunder	E
Whose bolt in a moment may fall	H
And our path may be flowery but under	E
The flowers there are thorns for us all	H
	-
Ah 'tis hard when our beautiful dreamings	C
That flash down the valley of night	A
Wave their wing when the gloom hides their gleaming	F
And leave us like eagles in flight	A
	-
And fly far away unreturning	F
And leave us in terror and tears	C
While vain is the spirit's wild yearning	F
That they may come back in the years	C
	-
Come back did I say it but never	E
Do eagles come back to the cage	I
They have gone they have gone and forever	E
Does youth come back ever to age	I
	-
No a joy that has left us in sorrow	J
Smiles never again on our way	K
But we meet in the farthest to morrow	J
The face of the grief of to day	K
	-
The brightness whose tremulous glimmer	E
Has faded we cannot recall	H
And the light that grows dimmer and dimmer	E
When gone 'tis forever and all	H
	-
Not a ray of it anywhere lingers	C
Not a gleam of it gilds the vast gloom	L
Youth's roses perfume not the fingers	C
Of age groping nigh to the tomb	L
	-
For the memory of joy is a sadness	C
The dim twilight after the day	K
And the grave where we bury a gladness	C
Sends a grief like a ghost on our way	K
	-
No day shall return that has faded	A
The dead come not back from the tomb	L
The vale of each life must be shaded	A
That we may see best from the gloom	L
	-
The height of the homes of our glory	C
All radiant with splendors of light	A
That we may read clearly life's story	C
The dark is the dawn of the bright	A
