• Life's sunniest hours are not without
  The shadow of some lingering doubt--
  Amid its brightest joys will steal
  Spectres of evil yet to feel--
  Its warmest love is blent with fears,
  Its confidence a trembling one--
  Its smile--the harbinger of tears--
  Its hope--the change of April's sun!
  A weary lot--in mercy given,
  To fit the chastened soul for heaven.

  John Greenleaf Whittier

  Of which the coming life is made,
  And fill our Future's atmosphere
  With sunshine or with shade.
