They say that lonely sorrows do not chance | B |
I think it true and that the cause I know | C |
A sorrow glideth in a funeral show | C |
Easier than if it broke into a dance | B |
But I think too that joy doth joy enhance | B |
As often as an added grief brings low | C |
And if keen eyed to see the flowers that grow | C |
As keen of nerve to feel the thorns that lance | B |
The foot that must walk naked in one way | D |
Blest by the lily white from toils and fears | E |
Oftener than wounded by the thistle spears | E |
We should walk upright bold and earnest gay | D |
I'll tell you how it fared with me one day | D |
After noon in a world so called of tears | F |
