Don`t let the song go out of your life

Though it chance sometimes to flow

In a minor strain;it will blend again

With the major tone you know.

 

What though shadows rise to obscure life`s skies,

And hide for a time the sun,

The sooner they`ll lift and reveal the rift,

If you let the melody run.

 

Don`t let the song go out of your life;

Though the voice may have lost it`s trill,

Though the tremulous note may die in your throat,

Let it sing in your spirit still.

 

Don`t let the song go out of your life;

Let it ring in the soul while here;

And when you go hence,`twill follow you thence,

And live in another sphere.
