Nature

Sunshine

by Cora C. Bass 1868–1928

From Songs for All Seasons, and Other Poems (1901)

Nature

There is plenty of sunshine in the world
To brighten the darkest days;
Are we sailing on with our colors furled,
Or spread to the cheering rays?
Are we sailing on with downcast eyes,
Or eyes on the gleaming goal?
Safe is the trip of the ship of the skies
Though the waves of the clouds rough roll.
