BY AND BY.

What if gloom be all around? What if ills and wrongs confound If you have a true man's heart? If you scorn to cheat or lie, If you act a noble part, Joy shall bless you by and by— By and by.
Never mind though men should sneer— Honest toil should know no fear; Face the world with bravest mien, Drive the dark clouds from your sky; There shall break upon the scene Stars of triumph by and by— By and by.
He's the nobleman who strives, Who on honest labor thrives: Who, on minds that now distress, Pours love's balm most tenderly; To him there shall come to bless Life's fruition by and by— By and by.
Man was never made to mourn Hopeless live and die forlorn; Man was made to bravely bear— Man was made to hold on high Hope's bright banner in the air, And await the by and by— By and by.
