John Kendrick Bangs - On Thinking Glad

John Kendrick Bangs - On Thinking Glad

NEVER mind a change of scene br Try a change of thinking. br What if things seem sordid, mean, br What's the use of blinking? br br Life's not always storm and cloud, br Somewhere stars are shining. br Try to think your joys out loud, br Silence all repining. br br By degrees, by thinking light, br Thinking glad and sweetly, br You'll escape the stress of night, br Worry gone completely. br br Get the habit looking for br Sunbeams pirouetting, br Tapping gaily at your door br Surest cure for fretting. br br Needn't fool yourself at all, br For there's no denying br E'en above a prison wall br Song-birds are aflying. br br Wherefore hearken to the song, br Never mind the prison, br And you'll find your soul ere long br Unto freedom risen.
