SUNSRINE COMES TO-MORROW.
Some days must be dark and dreary,
Some lives must be full of gloom,
Bome hearts of their cares must weary,
Till they long for the rest of the tomb,
Bome eyes must grow dim from weeping,
While others are glad and bright,

Care free, until morning light.

That the longed-tor rest draws near,
And well that the sun to-morrow

Where the myrtle and orange bloom,
Unheeding the wild commotion,
Or the depths which no stars illnme,
As those isles to the ship-wrecked mortal
Tossed about on the ocean's crest,
Bo the entrance to Heaven's portal
Tells only of endless rest,
