TWO SONGS.
HE sang from the depths of a mighty sorrowFilling and thrilling his heart and brain,With never a hope for a bright to-morrow,With solemn dirge for a buried pain.The great world kept on its busy wayNor thought nor cared for his mournful lay.
He sang from the height of a mighty gladnessFilling and thrilling the heart and soul,With never a thought of old-time sadness,Or old-time sinning beyond control.The great world turned from its busy wayTo join with him in his joyous lay.
