Let Us Make The Best Of It

Life is bul a fleeting dveam Care destroys the zest oí' it ; Swill it glideiii like a stream - Mind you make the best of it ! Talk not of yóur weaiy woes, Trouble, or the rest of it; It' we Lave but brief repose, Let us luaka Ihe best ui it ! If your friend has got a heart, 'jlioie is soniething fine in bim ; Cast away bis darker part, Cliuy tu wliat's divine in liiin. Fiieiidship is our best relief - Make uo heai'tlèsa jegt of it : It will brighten every grief, If we make the best cf it. Happiness despises state ; 'fis no sage experiment, Siroply that the wise and great May have joy and merriment ; Rank is not its apell refined - Mouey's not the test of it, But a calm contented mind, That will make the best of it. Trusüng in the Power above, Which, sustaining all of us In one cominou bond of love, Bindeth great and small of ua, Vvhatsoever may befall - Son ows or the rest of it - We shall ovircome the in all, If we make the best of it.
