They won’t frown always, — some sweet day > > >

They say that ‘time assuages

---

They say that ‘time assuages,’ —

   Time never did assuage;

An actual suffering strengthens,

   As sinews do, with age.

---

Time is a test of trouble,

   But not a remedy.

If such it prove, it prove too

   There was no malady.

They won’t frown always, — some sweet day > > >
