Dark Days

By Marianne Farningham

So little light, So long the night, So few the hours for labor! And who can ask A daily task Of servant or of neighbor?
The fog and sleet Within the street, The poverty and sorrow, Make the heart sad, And who is glad Fearing a worse to-morrow?
Nay, cease thy care, Do not despair; When shortest days are over, And winter dies 'Neath sunny skies, Thou shalt new joys discover.
A little while And heaven will smile; O friend, lose courage never! Hope on, take heart, Do well thy part, And trust in God forever.
— Marianne Farningham.
