Be Our Fortunes As They May
Be our fortunes as they may, Touched with loss or sorrow, Saddest eyes that weep to-day May be glad to-morrow. Yesterday the rain was here, And the winds were blowing - Sky and earth and atmosphere Brimmed and overflowing. But to-day the sun is out, And the drear November We were then so vexed about Now we scarce remember. Yesterday you lost a friend - Bless your heart and love it! - For you scarce could comprehend All the aching of it; - But I sing to you and say: Let the lost friend sorrow - Here's another come to-day, Others may to-morrow.
