When Dark Clouds Overshadowed the Sun's Ray
When dark clouds overshadow the sun’s ray
And gloom spreads over the countryside
While the daisies bowed their heads to pray,
Knowing they have this last somber day
Before their golden petals are thrust aside

calm before the storm?

valleys will cry

heights. Happy little

onto the cracked pavements of old
