Living
Keep Them Alive
From Oklahoma Sunshine (1905)
Living
Keep Hope alive! Though failure comes
Adown life's varied stream,
Behold, joy beats her mighty drums
And brave men toil and dream!
Keep Faith alive! Though evil strays
Across the paths you tread,
Yet Goodness blesses all your ways,--
The living and the dead!
Keep Love alive! Though burdens press
And crush with anguish sore,
Sweet Love shall crown with happiness
The sad heart evermore!
