Here you will find the Poem Stanzas for Music of poet James Brunton Stephens
Now once more the world is bright, Gone the clouds that hid the light, Gone the mists that dimmed my sight Gone sigh and tear. As the sunshine after rain Mirth and gladness come again, ?Sweet is pleasure after pain,? Hope after fear. Now again the joyous Hours Strew my path with leaves and flowers, Leading where enchanted bowers Bid Love repose. And I follow full of glee, Weary though the way may be, For my love is waiting me There at its close.
