Hopes And Fears.

Topics: classic

Like clouds that flit across the sky,         So follow hopes and fears.     What in these clouds see you and me         Dear Sweetheart, smiles or tears?     This little airy fleecy wing,         That flits across the blue,     What message Sweetheart does it bring         Of hope or fear to you?     Pray God it brings you sunny hours         And haply some few tears     To bless like showers your summer flowers         In the long coming years.
