THE COLOURING OF HAPPINESS.
My heart is full of prayer and praise to-day,
So beautiful the whole world seems to me!
I know the morn has dawned as is its wont,
I know the breeze comes on no lighter wing,
I know the brook chimed yesterday that same
Melodious call to my unanswering thought;
But I look forth with new created eyes,
And soul and sense seem linked and thrill alike,
And things familiar have unusual grown,
Taking my spirit with a fair surprise!
So beautiful the whole world seems to me!
I know the morn has dawned as is its wont,
I know the breeze comes on no lighter wing,
I know the brook chimed yesterday that same
Melodious call to my unanswering thought;
But I look forth with new created eyes,
And soul and sense seem linked and thrill alike,
And things familiar have unusual grown,
Taking my spirit with a fair surprise!
