DELIVERANCE by JOHN KENDRICK BANGS

First Line: I NEVER KNEW A NIGHT SO BLACK
Last Line: LOVE COULD NOT FILL IT FULL OF CHEER!
Subject(s): LOVE;

I never knew a night so black
Light failed to follow on its track.
I never knew a storm so gray
It failed to have its clearing day.
I never knew such bleak despair
That there was not a rift, somewhere.
I never knew an hour so drear
Love could not fill it full of cheer!
