Life, believe, is not a dream
So dark as ______ say;
Oft a little morning rain
Foretells a pleasant day.
Sometimes there are clouds of gloom,
But these are ______ all;
If the shower will make the roses bloom,
______ why lament its fall?
Rapidly, merrily,
Life’s sunny hours ______ by,
Gratefully, cheerily,
Enjoy them as they fly!
What ______ Death at times steps in
And calls our Best away?
What though sorrow seems to win,
O’er hope, a ______ sway?
Yet hope again elastic springs,
Unconquered, though she fell;
Still buoyant are her golden wings,
Still strong to ______ us well.
Manfully, fearlessly,
The day of trial bear,
______ gloriously, victoriously,
Can courage quell despair!
