IF I WERE A SUNBEAM
* If I were a sunbeam, I know what I’d do: I would seek white lilies Rainy woodlands through I would steal among them. Softest light I’d shed. > Until every lily Raised its drooping head. . * If I were a sunbeam, I know where I’d go: Into lowliest hovels, Dark with want and woe; Till sad hearts looked upward, I would shine and shine; Then they’d think of heaven Their sweet home and mine/ Art thou not a sunbeam, Child whose life is glad With an inner radiance Sunshine never had ? Oh! as God has blessed thee, Scatter rays divine! For there is no sunbeam But must die, or shine.
