REVERIE.
Reading edition
I am sitting in the gloaming, Sipping honey from Life’s flowers; Gathering sweetness for the future; I will store it in Love’s bowers. Nothing bitter will I gather To confront me by and by. Though dark clouds are overhanging, Shining is the sun in sky. All the little clouds, and shadows I will drive from out my heart; For I love the sunshine better, From no sunbeam will I part. Though the raindrops may be falling, Though the day is dark and drear; It will clear before Life’s evening, And Life’s sun again appear.
