Poems (Coolidge)/Rainbow Tints

RAINBOW TINTS

Oh, think a happy thought,
 Thy blessings number o'er;
The grateful heart so fraught
 Will be, for thee, one more.

Oh, smile a sunny smile,
 'Twill chase dark clouds away;
'Twill shorten every mile
 Thou treadest day by day.

Oh, speak in cheery tone,
 For echoed is each word;
Not by thyself alone
 Its joyousness is heard.

The rainbow arch above
 Hope's lifted eye may see,
The promise of God's love,
 Now and eternally.
