nobody knows
Nobody knows why the summer rose
Droops and dies at the summer’s close,
And the vagrant wind its petals brown
Scatters at will thro’ the busy town-
Ah, nobody knows!
Nobody knows why the summer goes
And the weary winter brings the
snows;
And the boughs are bare and the birds
are gone;
And the dreary days drag dully on—
Ah, nobody knows!
Nobody knows why the days disclose
l 1 ears and follies and wants and woes—
And death and duty and pain and care
unrest,
Scatter their shadows everywhere
Ah, nobody knows!
Nobody knows why the day departs
And the lips grow dumb and the eye
lids close
And the world’s desire and the world’s
unrest,
Wake no more in the icy breast—
Ah, nobody knows!
Nobody knows why the day departs
And night brings shadows to skies and
hearts
And finds the dreamer at set of sun
With a broken heart o’er task undone
Ah, nobody knows!
Nobody knows? Ah, yes! Oh, yes!
And that One—God! We grieve and
guess
But he is clearer of sight than we
And he knows why that it comes to
be—
Yes, sombody knows!
—Springfield Republican.
