When tho pttMy willows come agnln
In thnt beautiful suggestion of spring,
'Will our homes nil be the same,
Or will it sorrow to some bring?
01 the beautiful coming of spring,
We nil look forwnnl to,
May it happiness to all bring
llccausc sorrow wont do.
Wc all look for the first peep of tho
pussy willow,
As wc know what that mentis;
It is n coming of the beautiful spring
Wc have hud in our dfcauis.
So wc dream of the springtime in life
w licit wc cxpcci to mm as me pussy

Wc do not count on the strife,
Aim pcrimpi being thrown on tho

Wo all look forward to happtness,
We do not count on the sorrow
We nil KfnP for the ulsdness
Aim sorrow lest not hare biiu borrow.
Let's like the pussj willow any way bloom
Ami make all times a snrtm: time:

As we walk down the lile ot time.
The young girl and bor too,
Isn't It a joy to sec them,
in (tic springtime ot uie as they go.
with no inoughtoi sorrow or condemn.
Soon to men and women they grow,
To take up tin duties of life;
May it all be a springtime as they go.
aiiu tney ncter know sorrow or striie.
Mow as we meet those dear lives,
With the spriugtlme passad;
May wc throw thonghts of the higher,
That will intuit tlieut to the last.
Those lives too with th spring,
ui earth almost gone,
Uut the heaven of the springtime,
just beginning to uawu.
They can feel the heavenly springtime,
as it draws near to them,
And sends a gleam of eternal time,
Which is n rtit and liappiuesa to all
of them.
And now on the ere of life,
They have from th earth gone,
May it have been to them,
Just on happy song.
In heaven It Is all song
And happiness too,
If wc have lived good lives
And did all tlic good we could do,
So Just make your life tiers
A springtime to nil you meet,
You will llud when you cater 111 gates

To all it has been so sweet.

That happiness to look torward K,
May In return n good Ufa yon have lived,
