ALBUM LEAVES
True friends are like the stars in heaven
That ever steadier brighter glow
When all is darkness here below,
For when our sorrows dim the sight
And all about is dark as night,
Their loves and sympathies are given.
That ever steadier brighter glow
When all is darkness here below,
For when our sorrows dim the sight
And all about is dark as night,
Their loves and sympathies are given.
True love is like a fragile flower
That smiling opes its tender eyes
And breathes sweet fragrance to the skies,
For though its sphere be great or small
It sheds a beauty over all
And cheers and gladdens every hour.
That smiling opes its tender eyes
And breathes sweet fragrance to the skies,
For though its sphere be great or small
It sheds a beauty over all
And cheers and gladdens every hour.
Kind words are like the gentle rain
That melts away the ice and snow
And bids the happy brooklet flow,
For though the heart be cold and drear,
A kindly word of hope and cheer
May melt away its icy chain.
That melts away the ice and snow
And bids the happy brooklet flow,
For though the heart be cold and drear,
A kindly word of hope and cheer
May melt away its icy chain.
Good deeds are like the days of spring
That fill the heart with joy and mirth
And draw rich beauties from the earth,
For he who giveth full and free,
Will find his bread upon the sea
Within the kingdom of the king.
That fill the heart with joy and mirth
And draw rich beauties from the earth,
For he who giveth full and free,
Will find his bread upon the sea
Within the kingdom of the king.
