SADNESS I KNOW

 

The rain comes down

   Quietly and slow,

The wind is silent,

   And sadness I know.

 

The mice play in the hey

   Running to and fro –

The fields lay quietly,

   And sadness I know.

 

The clouds cross the sky

   The sun sinks low –

The day is unpredictable,

   And sadness I know.

 

But life must go on,

   And sadness will show,

But there is happiness,

   And now you know!
