A Song
“Summer grove may loose their gladness, winter winds may wander by.”
139
Summer grove may loose their gladness,
Winter winds may wander by.
Cares may come and weary sadness,
Must we then for ever sigh,
Brave the storm with firm endeavour,
Let your feign repinings go
Hopeful hearts will find for ever
Roses under neath the snow.
II
One by one the links that bind us,
May be severed here on earth,
But the sun will surely find us.
Through the winter's gloomy death,
Cheerful hearts around us beating
Waiting ever Summer's glow.
Ah! we know your always meeting
Roses under neath the snow.
III
Never joy that earth can send us
Can't for ever leave us here,
Every flower that spring can lead us
Bloom again another year,
Cares may come but never mind them,
Joy's may come and joys may go,
Look around and you will find them
Rose under neath the snow.
