Take the World As It Is - Charles Swain

Take the world as it is! -with its smiles and sorrow,

Its love and its friendship -its falsehood and truth-

Its schemes that depend on the breath of tomorrow! 

Its hopes which pass by like the dreams of our youth-

Yet, oh! whilst the light of affection may shine,

The heart in itself hath a fountain of bliss!

In the worst there’s some spark of a nature divine,

And the wisest and best take the world as it is.
