DARKNESS AND DAWN

By Frances B. Currie

My life was hard but yestereve, And dark with clouds of sorrow, I had no hope that better things Were coming with the morrow; And through my tears I could not see The brighter morning breaking; My only prayer was for a sleep From which is no awaking.
O Life, how changeful you can be— How subtle, how surprising! To-day the atmosphere is sweet; The sun-god is arising. And while the gloom is fast dispelled, An earnest prayer I’m making, That after my last sleep I’ll have So radiant an awaking. —Frances B. Currie, in Examiner.
