The Singing Heart

By C. DuFay Robertson

C. DuFay Robertson

There are days when the breeze makes a sigh in the trees, When the rain-drops like weary tears start; But there’s never a day can be gloomy or gray Where is one with a singing heart.

There are mortals we meet in the shop or the street, With visage as dark as the cloud; But there’s never a face without beauty and grace For the one whose own soul sings aloud.

Be the sky black or bright over valley or height, Be the day short and merry or long, There is never an hour without fragrance and flower For the man whose deep heart holds a song.

O, there’s never a spot in the wide world, I wot, In the highway, the field, or the mart, Where there is not a place for the comforting face Of the one with the singing heart! — Christian Advocate.
