We To Sigh Instead of Sing
"Rain and rain! And rain and rain!" Yesterday we muttered Grimly as the grim refrain That the thunders uttered: All the heavens under cloud - All the sunshine sleeping; All the grasses limply bowed With their weight of weeping. Sigh and sigh! And sigh and sigh! Never end of sighing; Rain and rain for our reply - Hopes half drowned and dying; Peering through the window-pane, Naught but endless raining - Endless sighing, and as vain, Endlessly complaining, Shine and shine! And shine and shine! Ah! To-day the splendor! All this glory yours and mine - God! But God is tender! We to sigh instead of sing, Yesterday, in sorrow, While the Lord was fashioning This for our To-morrow!
