SONG FOR TROUBLED HEARTS.

By Benjamin Phillips

BY BENJAMIN PHILLIPS.
CheerfUL thoughts and sunny May Chase the storm of grief away; Troubled heart and frowning face Strengthen mis'ry every place.
June, with sweet perfume and flowers Brings refreshment for thy hours; Clouds that darken winter's sky See thee hide thy face to sigh.
Useless 'tis to murmur o'er Dear, dead pleasant days of yore; They will never come again If we welcome care and pain.
But sweet fortune to implore Often brings it to our door; Vain it is for thee to sigh When the clouds come o'er the sky.
Proudly wilt thou crush a sigh? Winter soon will hasten by— Foolish is the cry and vain; "Summer comes not back again."
