TRIP LIGHTLY.

By Sel.

Trip lightly over trouble, trip lightly over wrong, We only make grief double, by dwelling on it long. Why clasp woe's hand so tightly? why sigh o'er blossoms dead? Why cling to forms unsightly? why not seek joy instead?
Trip lightly over sorrow, though all the day be dark. The sun may shine to-morrow, and gaily sing the lark, Fair hopes have not departed, though roses may have fled, Don't ever be down-hearted, but look for joy instead.
Trip lightly over sadness, stand not to rail at doom, We've pearls to string of gladness on this side of the tomb. When stars are nightly shining, and the Heaven is overhead, Encourage not repining, but look for joy instead.
—Sel.
