Lying all around our path,
Let us take the wheat and roses
Casting out the thorns and chaff;
Let us find our sweetest comfort In the blessings of to-day,

Thanks be for doubt that ends
In clearer light;
Thanks be for loss that lends
Fresh faith to sight
Grew not the fallow brown,
Spring stood afar; Did not the sun go down,
Never a star
Thanks be for shame that whips
On to emprise;
Thanks…

One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o'er and o'er:

Nearer my father's house
Where the many manstons be:
Nearer the great white throne,
Nearer the crystal sea
Nearer…

Or runnin' from the law-
It's the fastest runnin'
That this old world ever saw
I want to stop a minute,
So's…

Flashed up in a flame
From my heart to my cheek
Your arms held me fast;
Oh! your arths so…

Joy comes along with sorrow,
And sorrow on with joy:
What boots it which we borrow
Since each has its alloy?
Our life wears death for a jewel
And death makes sweet our life;
Which is more kind, more cruel,
Which more rewards…

Do heat to pallor-I, who sway
Forever in the bread of strife,
Not master, but the slave of life,
A burning heart I bear!
Yet death will full extinction give,
Or kindly age a bound will set;
So, if I live, I shall…

And every rose that blooms at morn
For him holds nothing but a thorn
