Ah, the hours when Life goes singing And winging along Through the starry paths of loving, And Love is so brave and strong! All the ways burn golden with beauty And throb with song. There are times when the song will falter And fray. Dim with confusion and pain Stretches the barren way. The wings droop useless, forgotten, Dingy and grey. Ah, the days when the trailing wings strengthen, And rhythm returns again! Just a sad little minor persisting From struggle and years of pain.
