Glad that I live am I; <br />That the sky is blue; <br />Glad for the country lanes, <br />And the fall of dew. <br /> <br />After the sun the rain; <br />After the rain the sun; <br />This is the way of life, <br />Till the work be done. <br /> <br />All that we need to do, <br />Be we low or high, <br />Is to see that we grow <br />Nearer the sky.<br /><br />Lizette Woodworth Reese<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-little-song-of-life/
