Joy Arise
Sojourn a moment, O Life, I cannot cease,
While yet my soul unfolds with dawn’s first light;
Bright are my days, and rich the world’s embrace
Where laughter springs in flight.
Sojourn a moment, O Life, I cannot cease
With all my moments unadmired,
My smiles unshared, all my songs unsung,
And all my peace unwired.
Sojourn a moment, until my heart has known
The fullness of sun and shifting skies;
Till every shadow yields its hidden gleam,
O Life, let joy arise!
