L. D. SANTEE.
(Chicago, Ill.)
When the joys of the springtime have found you, And the rose yields its sweetest perfume, When the sweet flowers blossom around you, Wooed by amorous kisses of June; When the earth, with her smiles, is so pleasant, With the light of the sun over all, Then live in the joys of the present, And dread not the gloom of the fall.
Let us live in the spring with its gladness, Let us gather life's beautiful flowers; Let us dread not some on-coming sadness, Or the gloom of some gathering showers; Let us fear not the sable of sorrow, And dread not some threatening rod, But, taking “no thought for the morrow,” Leave all in the keeping of God.
