Clouds

Laughter and song for my cheer, Life is so fair. None so happy as I Anywhere ; Birds in the woods carol clear, White clouds in the sky.

Song silent and brow with a frown, Why is this so ? Guiltless am I Would you know, The lark from the heavens drops down ; Grey clouds in the sky.

Sighing and tears for my sorrow, Life is so drear, None so weary as I, 'Tis a mere Waste of love, and a wish for to-morrow- Black night in the sky.
