every time would have its song
if the heart were right
seeing love all tender-strong
fills the day and night

weary drop the hands of prayer
calling out for peace;
love always and everywhere
sings and does not cease

fear, the caitiff, through the night
silent peers about;
love comes singing with a light
and doth cast him out

hate and guile and wrath and doubt
never try to sing;
if they did, oh, what a rout
anguished ears would sting!

pride indeed will sometimes aim
at the finer speech
but thе best that he can frame
is a pеac-ck-screech

greed will also sometimes try:
happiness he hunts!
but his dwelling is a sty
and his tones are grunts
faith will sometimes raise a song
soaring up to heaven
then she will be silent long
and will weep at even

hope has many a gladsome note
now and then to pipe;
but, alas, he has the throat
of a bird unripe

often joy a stave will start
which the welkin rends
but it always breaks athwart
and untimely ends

grief, who still for death doth long
always self-abhorred
has but one low, troubled song
i am sorry, lord

but love singeth in the vault
singeth on the stair;
even for sorrow will not halt
singeth everywhere

for the great love everywhere
over all doth glow;
draws his birds up trough the air
tends his birds below
and with songs ascending sheer
love-born love replies
singing father in his ear
where she bleeding lies

therefore, if my heart were right
i should sing out clear
sing aloud both day and night
every month in the year!
