TRUST by FRANCES RIDLEY HAVERGAL

First Line: SADLY BEND THE FLOWERS
Last Line: SHALL COME THE MORNING SMILE.
Subject(s): TRUST;
SADLY bend the flowers
In the heavy rain;
After beating showers,
Sunbeams come again.
Little birds are silent
All the dark night through;
When the morning dawneth,
Their songs are sweet and new.

When a sudden sorrow
Comes like cloud and night,
Wait for God's to-morrow;
All will then be bright.
Only wait and trust Him
Just a little while;
After evening tear-drops
Shall come the morning smile.
