8 LEXICON OF 
Thus pass the day 
In joy away 
Brightest of Eve's fair daughters ! 
May sorrows fly 
Thy evening sky, 
Like mists from clear calm waters.

We love thy kindly presence, 
When blessings make us glad ; 
Nor less sincere our welcome, 
When sorrow makes us sad. 
For then thy cheerful kindness 
Our drooping spirits raise. 
And turns our lamentations 
To thankfulness and praise. 
Thy smiles are like the sunshine, 
Enlivening all around, 
And in thy generous sympathy 
Is balm for sorrow's wound !
