Oh! the day was dark and dreary, <br />For clouds swept o'er the sun, <br />The burden of life seemed heavy, <br />And its warfare never done; <br />But I heard a voice at twilight, <br />It whispered in my ear, <br />'Oh, doubting heart, look upward, <br />Dear soul, be of good cheer. <br />Oh, weary heart, look upward, <br />Dear soul, be of good cheer.' <br /> <br />And lo! on looking upward <br />The stars lit up the sky <br />Like the lights of an endless city, <br />A city set on high. <br />And my heart forgot its sorrow <br />These heavenly homes to see-- <br />Sure in those many mansions <br />Is room for even me, <br />Sure in those many mansions, <br />Is room for thee and me.<br /><br />Marietta Holley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-song-for-twilight/
