Sunshine Ever Follows Rain.

Mrs. E. R. HUGHES.
M. L. REMSBERG.

1. I am roaming in the meadows
In the dewy flush of light.
O'er my spirit comes a shadow,
Turning sunshine into night.
Oh, the woe of doubtful loving
Saddens heart and wearies brain;
Hope is softly whisp'ring something,
Sunshine ever follows rain.

CHORUS.
O'er the meadows I am roaming,
Listless in my weary pain;
Hope is softly whisp'ring something,
Sunshine ever follows rain.

2. Still dark clouds around gather
While the sunlight round me plays;
Friends depart and fond hearts sever,
God has strange, mysterious ways.
And I linger in the shadow,
Listless in my weary pain;
Dreaming in the dewy meadow,
Sunshine ever follows rain.

CHORUS.

3. Still I listen, softly listen,
And my sorrow lighter seems;
At my feet the dew-gems glisten
In the sunlight's rosy beams.
And the brooklet in the distance,
Softly singing a refrain,
Drinking in the dewy fragrance,
Sunshine ever follows rain.

CHORUS.
