i We pray that the world grow better,
• And we say its roads are rough;
We fret over fancied sorrows,
But the world is good enough.
Springs the bright grain if we sow it,
There is work for hand and pen,
Nature ever smiles on effort—
What we want is better men.
By the cloud we know the sunshine;
Smiles are sweetest after tears;
After toiling cometh resting,
And calming of our fears.
Shall we murmur that the snow falls—
Doth not Summer come again?
Ah! this might be half an Eden,
If we just had better men.
When the Summer fails to reach us,
And dear love shall lose its power,
When the angel, hope, refuses
To illume the darkened hour,
We may ban the world for coldness,
But our course is clear till then—
Let us face toward its sunshine.
And fill it with better men!
Better fathers, friends and brothers—
More its worth to understand;
Better hearts toward each other,
\ And sometimes a helping band.
Never whimper of decadence
When misfortune meets our ken
The old world will answer nobly
To the claims of better men.
