Shadows
Shadows are but for the moment-- Quickly past; And then the sun the brighter shines That it was overcast. For Light is Life! Gracious and sweet, The fair life-giving sun doth scatter blessings With his light and heat,-- And shadows. But the shadows that come of the life-giving sun Crouch at his feet. No mortal life but has its shadowed times-- Not one! Life without shadow could not taste the full Sweet glory of the sun. No shadow falls, but there, behind it, stands The Light Behind the wrongs and sorrows of life's troublous ways Stands RIGHT.
