SUNSHINE.
(From M. Guntrcn, Dairy Flat. North Auckland.) We always long for days when wintry rain has passed. When we will wake to see. A .sunbeam playing on our window pane And wild birds winging free. But if we kept some sunshine in our minds Our thoughts would lose their wearying weight Then we would find the gloom would fall behind, And jealousy and fear and hate. If we would keep some sunshine in our hearts The clouds of woe would disappear, For half the strife in life is, at the start. Distrust and doubt and fear. And as the sunshine with its warmth and glowIs life to every lovely thing The sunshine in our hearts will grow And richer, lovelier harvests bring.
