Excerpt from The Lover's Year-Book of Poetry, a Collection of Love Poems for Every Day in the Year, Vol. 2: The Other Life Deem not that they are blest alone Whose days a peaceful tenor keep, The God who loves our race has shown A blessing for the eyes that weep. The light of smiles shall fill again The lids that overflow with tears, And weary hours Of woe and pain Are promises Of happier years. Oh, there are days of sunny rest For every dark and troubled night, And grief may bide, an evening guest, But joy shall come with early light. And thou who o'er thy friend's low bier Dost shed the bitter drops like rain, Hope that a brighter, happier sphere Will give him to thy arms again. Nor let the good man's trust depart, Though life its common gifts deny; Though, with a pierced and bleeding heart, And spurned of men, he goes to die. For God hath marked each sorrowing day, And numbered every secret tear. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
