Sweet peril
Alas,
how easily things go wrong!
A
sigh too much, or a kiss too long,
And
there follows a mist and a weeping rain,
And
life is never the same again.
Alas,
how hardly things go right!
‘Tis
hard to watch in a summer night,
For
the sigh will come, and the kiss will stay,
And
the summer night is a wintry day.
And
yet how easily things go right,
If
the sigh and a kiss of a summer’s night
Come
deep from the soul in the stronger ray
That
is born in the light of a winter’s day.
And
things can never go badly wrong
If
the heart be true and the love be strong,
For
the mist, if it comes, and the weeping rain
Will
be changed by the love into sunshine again.
