JOY IS COMING
Although thy life hath known,
Some pain and sadness -
Now, grief is overthrown,
By joy and gladness -
By joy and gladness.
Hope - sings her music-song,
Of your tomorrow.
Thy future, all along,
Shall share no sorrow -
Shall share no sorrow.
Lit up with golden light,
They days shall be -
No darkness - no more night,
Shall come for thee -
Shall come for thee.
George Burgess - June 1884
