THERE'S ALWAYS A WELCOME
FOR YOU
By Jo Labariie
Come in the mom whm the dcwtlropa As the pearls in your heart so dear; Come at the noon when the herds a-dream
In the shade by the brooklet's cheer; Come when the shadows grow in length
While the day bids the eve adieu; Come in your weakness,come in your strength, There'8 always a welcome for you.
m
Come when the clouds in their anger roar,
And the lightnings fiercely flash; Come when the waves rush the heedless shore
And the suds far inland splash; Come when the fold bells softly trill O'er the lea and the upland view; Come in your sweetness, come when you will, There's always a welcome for you.
»
Come when the heart is a yearning for mt>
When love is a calling aloud; Come when the loneness produces ennui,
When gayety welcomes a shroud; Come when aweary and wanting a rest.
When your wearing worries accrue; Come to the wildwoods. your cares to divest, There's always a welcome for you:
Come with your friendship, your love and your song,
We'll make them grow lusty the while;
Come with your hates, bring your grouches along,
We'll lose them afield with a smile;
Come where the clock has no work on its hands,
Where hunger alone bids you chew;
Come where Morpheus alone bed commands.
There's always a welcome for you.
