Love's Dawn.the rich, resplendent light Floods the world and turns away night's dingy scroll So does love's dawn in one's being doff the veil of sorrow's night; So does happiness' warm sun illume the soul. How the shapeless, frozen rocket, flying far thru barren space. Melts in meteor flash when touch the at- mosphere. So the life that's lone and loveless, clasped at last in love's embrace, Casts a gleam of joy and love-light far and near. Let the sun-light and the love-light bless each creature of the earth! Peace on earth, good will to men, be every prayer. Let the doleful dirge of sorrow change to song of joy and mirth! Free the world from pain and heart-ache everywhere. __Colfax Burgoyne Harman |
