ICE and snow are cold, I know <br />Pain and sorrow too are chill. <br />Ever notice how the glow <br />Of the sun on ice and snow, <br /> <br />On your wintry window-sill, <br />Melts away the snow and ice <br />Sends it tripping in a trice? <br />So with every ill! <br /> <br />So with every chilling storm <br />All will melt away <br />If you'll only let the warm <br />Streams of sunlight play <br /> <br />In and all about your room. <br />Enemy to sin, <br />Enemy to care and gloom <br />Let the sunlight in !<br /><br />John Kendrick Bangs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sunlight-18/
