The Bright Side
From Songs for All Seasons, and Other Poems (1901)
The bright side
Is the right side,
The side we seek to see.
The wrong way,
Is a long way,
And will not make us free.
The right side,
Is the light side,
The side that mirror’s bliss;
The wrong way,
Is a long way,
And one we cannot miss.
The right side
Is the white side,
Where nothing dark can tread;
The wrong way
Is a long way,
Beset by foes we dread.
The bright side,
Not the night side
Will cheer the weary eye;
By fair ways,
There are stair ways
To homes beyond the sky.
