   A Happiness I Found

   1. When the rooks are flying homewards
   And the evening shadows come
   After my hard day’s labour
   Within my humble home
   I sit beside the blazing fire
   And children flock around
   And in the cheery hours then
   A happiness I found

   2. When friends ‘twere dear have passed away
   And faded one by one.
   We can’t undo the parting
   When the sands of life are run
   The strong, the weak, the kindliest
   Death’s cruel sickle downed
   ‘Twas in the thought that you were spared
   A happiness, I found.

   3. And now old age has come along
   And I have feeble grown
   Beside me in my sinking years
   As one who was my own.
   That joined me in my greatest joys
   My greatest sorrows drowned.
   And pulled the oar, out from the shore
   A Happiness, I found.

   4. And hand in hand, in light or gloom
   Step by step we tread
   Till in the place beyond the tomb
   We'll mingle with the dead
   When dewy tears shall fill the eyes
   Of loved ones standing round
   God grant in mercy from on high
   A Happiness, I found.
