Life-Colors (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life-Colors Our lives are like the paintings made By artist hands. We have the choice Of colors fair, and those that fade We know at first by common voice. But oft we trial make, and then The truth is shown to men again. We choose the blue of truth and find Its strengthening power. But when we For grace in life, we needs must wind The green of hope around. The nook, In Springtime's green, gives promise sure Of life immortal, true, and pure. Ofttimes the Master Artist gives The shape and color too. He knows In dullest shades rare beauty lives; That symmetry of line oft goes With shadows cast upon the earth; That saddest lives to grace give birth.
