I KNOW the rose will bloom again <br />As soon as it is June, <br />The robin will return by then <br />To sing his merry tune. <br />I know the wintry cold will pass, <br />The gray clouds change to blue, <br />But I think my present woe, alas! <br />Must last my whole life through. <br /> <br />I view my little garden bare <br />And smile from day to day, <br />I know the green will glisten there <br />As soon as it is May. <br />I face the winter, brave of heart, <br />I know that it will go, <br />But every little ache and smart <br />Sets me to grieving so. <br /> <br />If I can view the winter's snow, <br />My garden desolate <br />And smile, because right well I know <br />If I will only wait <br />The days of spring will soon return, <br />And bring me back the rose, <br />Have I not wit enough to learn <br />That time will cure my woes?<br /><br />Edgar Albert Guest<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/one-sided-faith/
