NATURE'S SORROW CURE by CATHERINE CATE COBLENTZ

First Line: THE ONLY THING TO CHEER ME
Last Line: WILL BRING HIM BACK TO ME.
Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST;
The only thing to cheer me,
Beneath a heavy load,
The beauty that is near me,
The roses in my road.

A bit of new grass creeping,
A butterfly of gold,
The first spring bloodroot peeping
Through dark and pulpy mold.

When even God is hidden,
Because I will not see,
A swallow's call unbidden
Will bring Him back to me.
