James Whitcomb Riley - Kissing The Rod
Work rating: Low

O heart of mine, we shouldn`t
        Worry so!
  What we`ve missed of calm we couldn`t
        Have, you know!
  What we`ve met of stormy pain,
  And of sorrow`s driving rain,
  We can better meet again,
        If it blow!

  We have erred in that dark hour
        We have known,
  When our tears fell with the shower,
        All alone!--
  Were not shine and shadow blent
  As the gracious Master meant?--
  Let us temper our content
        With His own.

  For, we know, not every morrow
        Can be sad;
  So, forgetting all the sorrow
        We have had,
  Let us fold away our fears,
  And put by our foolish tears,
  And through all the coming years
      Just be glad.
