quote · Legacy record
"I will be happy all the day Let come what may." 'Twas early morning when the word was said, And like a journey 'cross a weary plain There stretched the hours, but I was comforted As heart and voice sung o'er the sweet refrain, "I will be happy all the day Let come what may." "I will make hope and only hope My horoscope." The sombre, brooding clouds of discontent Oppress one's spirit like a throbbing pain; One frets and moans in one's environment, But with a look ahead I sing again, "I will make hope and only hope My horoscope."
