Edgar Guest - Consolation
Work rating: Low

SO YOU `RE sobbin` in the night time, an` you `re sighin` through the day, 
An` your heart is ever callin` for the loved one gone away; 
An` you`re lonely, oh, so lonely! an` there`s nothin` friends can do,
That will start the old light shinin` in those tender eyes of blue.

I `m not goin` to try to tell you that you shouldn`t sit an` sigh, 
An` I `m not the one to whisper: "You`ll feel better by an` by;"
But joy isn`t everlastin1 till this earthly life is done,
If it was, no cloud would ever hide the shinin` mornin` sun.

We must sip of joy an` sorrow, we must weep an` laugh in turn, 
We must win love but to lose it, an` our hearts with grief must burn; 
For the lasting joys are Heaven`s, we can`t hope to find them here, 
Every one who loves must some day weep beside a loved one`s bier.

To have known love an` deserved it, is our highest point of bliss, 
There `s no happiness for mortals that can greater be than this; 
An` though Death conies in an` robs us of our priceless jewels, we 
Who have loved an` lost know something of the joys that are to be.
