THE ONE WHO HAS A SONG.

By Nixon Waterman

The cloud-maker says it is going to storm, And we're sure to have awful weather,— Just terribly wet, or cold, or warm, Or, maybe, all three together; But, while his spirit is overcast With the gloom of his dull repining, The one with a song comes smiling past, And, lo! the sun is shining.

The cloud-maker tells us the world is wrong, And is bound in an evil fetter, But the blue-sky man comes bringing a song Of hope that shall make it better; And the toilers, hearing his voice, behold The sign of a glad to-morrow, Whose hands are heaped with the purest gold Of which each heart may borrow. —Nixon Waterman.
