The morning of a gladsome day in spring	A
Had scarce its freshness brought to weary men	B
When o'er the meadows wet a boy did sing	A
And whistled o'er a tune and carroll'd it again	B
In youthful happiness unconscious then	B
Of aught which time might bring of pain or woe	C
But careless pitching stones in bog or fen	B
It seem'd as if he buried there also	C
All worldly cares so blithely did he onward go	C
	-
And yet he was no careless heedless boy	D
Who thought but of the present time alone	E
Of future years he thought but with such joy	D
His thoughts but pleasure gave nor caused a groan	E
From out the breast that claim'd them as its own	E
His thoughts were of the future fair and bright	F
And fresh from his unburden'd heart alone	E
Untarnish'd by the hard and glaring light	F
By which he yet might see with such a diff'rent sight	F
	-
A picture of the blissful future he	G
Had gaily painted in his youthful mind	H
And thought no color there too bright to be	G
An image of his share from fortune kind	H
Which she in future years would give so free	G
To him the lucky sailor on life's sea	G
He thought of honor happiness and fame	I
As he went gaily o'er the dewy lea	G
And to his mind no thought of failure came	I
To win a prize of worth in life's tremendous game	I
	-
He heard his parents brothers sisters all	J
With pride and fondness speak his honor'd name	I
And listen'd while a nation's mighty call	J
Invited him to honor and to fame	I
And crowds his praises shout with loud acclaim	I
He saw in wealthy town his mansion wide	K
And in the country view'd his fields the same	I
Until in rapture he had almost cried	K
In happiness and wealth all others are outvied	K
	-
	-
He saw a lovely maiden by his side	K
Who soon with him his favor'd lot would share	L
He saw her upward glance of joy and pride	K
As to his eyes she rais'd her face so fair	L
So proudly glad that he her lord was there	L
And all unconscious of her own sweet grace	M
But confident in his protecting care	L
She gave him first within her mind the place	M
And raised him high above all others of his race	M
	-
And now how joyful rings the marriage bell	N
Upon the brightest morn in his career	O
He proudly hears the mighty organ swell	N
While orange buds and bridal robes appear	O
And people stop the merry notes to hear	P
And now the organ peals its parting strain	Q
And issuing forth they hear a stirring cheer	O
While crowds surround the stately marriage train	Q
To cheer him and his bride and cheer them once again	B
	-
These are the thoughts that fill his boyish mind	K
And agitate and fire his youthful breast	K
Oh why should fortune oft' be so unkind	K
And real life appear in sombre colors drest	K
And dash to earth bright hopes and give so much unrest	K
Oh why should boyish hopes and maiden's dreams	R
Fail sadly fail to stand the crucial test	K
Say why should all the brightness of man's schemes	R
Full often fade away like earth's forgotten themes	R
	-
Why do you ask O sad inquirer How	S
Can things like that be known to mortal ken	B
Suffice it that it suits the mortal Now	S
And leads our thoughts to the eternal Then	B
When darkness shall be light to ransom'd men	B
When dreams of bliss with glad fruition crown'd	K
And happiness untold by prophet's pen	B
Shall fill the hearts of those who sought and found	K
That peace which lighted up and cheer'd life's weary round	K
