Blogger wasn't working last night, so here's the post for, well, June 29, 2011: I found this little old book of poetry in a tiny bookstore at Cannon Beach last weekend. The book is called Riley, Songs O'Cheer and I wanted to share this poem since it's not quite summer yet:
..."Sigh and sigh! and sigh and sigh!
Never end of sighing;
Rain and rain for our reply--
Hopes half-drowned and dying;
Peering through the window-pane,
Naught but endless raining--
Endless sighing, and, as vain,
Endlessly complaining.
Shine and shine! and shine and shine!
Ah! to-day the splendor!--
All this glory yours and mine--
God! but God is tender!
We to sigh instead of sing,
Yesterday, in sorrow,
While the Lord was fashioning
This for our To-morrow!"
