Sunshine.

“There's little sunshine in my heart
Slack to spring, lead to sink;
There's little sunshine in the world
I think.”—
“There's glow of sunshine in my heart
(Cool wind, cool the glow);
There's flood of sunshine in the world
I know.”—
Now if of these one spoke the truth,
One spoke more or less:
But which was which I will not tell;—
You, guess.
