Rh SPRING SURPRISE

AUTUMN TREES

"THE LIGHT LIES ON THE FARTHER HILLS"

clouds upon the mountains rest;

A gloom is on the autumn day;

But down the valley, in the west,

The hidden sunlight breaks its way—

A light lies on the farther hills.

Forget thy sorrow, heart of mine!

Tho' shadows fall and fades the leaf,
