SUNBEAMS.
Welcome, cheerful sunbeams!Welcome, to my room!When you come, you alwaysDrive away the gloom.Life would be less dreary,Did we let the beamOf the sun, more freely,O’er our pathway gleam.While we drop the curtainTo shut out its ray,Nature’s voice is saying“Bask in it alway.”O, then let us cherishEvery sunny ray!So that when there cometh,As there will, a dayWhen the sun is hidden,And the clouds are drear,We may from past sunbeams,Gather hope and cheer.
