While the trees will give me the thoughts I need, br For the life of roses beneath the leaves, br There's a light for me and for everyone, br To repay the shadows of days and eves. br br When the mind remembers the youth of life br And the countless seconds and hours and years, br There runs a stream from within our eyes- br Is a stream of ailing but shining tears. br The time of life begins and ends---- br In an epic of thousands of pains and gains.
