Excerpt from Songs and LyricsThe sky was blue, Our hearts were true, Bright shone the sun that summer morn The birds sang sweet, And at our feet Lay waving fields of yellow corn.With love and faith As strong as death. Without a tear we turned away 5 'tis now we weep, At one fell sweep Our sun is hid, our sky is gray. For pride is strong When hearts are young And bitter words that once are spoken Return again With maddening pain, And faith, and vows, and hearts are broken.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
