DON'T BE SORROWFUL, DARLING.
1.
Ah, don't be sorrowful, darling,And don't be sorrowful pray,
Taking the year together, my dear,
There isn't more night than day!
'Tis rainy weather, my darling,
Time's waves, they heavily run,
But taking the year together, my dear,
There isn't more cloud than sun!
CHORUS.
Then, don't be sorrowful, darling,Don't be sorrowful, pray;
For, taking the year together, my dear,
There isn't more night than day.
2.
We are old folks now, my darling,Our heads they are growing gray,
But taking the year all around, my dear,
You will always find th'May!
We have had our May, my darling,
And our roses, long ago,
And th'time of year is coming, my dear,
For th'silent night and th'snow!
CHORUS.
Then, don't be sorrowful, darling,Don't be sorrowful, pray;
For, taking the year together, my dear,
There isn't more night than day.
3.
And God is God, my darling,Of night as well as of day,
And we feel and know that we can go
Wherever he leads the way.
Aye, God of the night, my darling—
Of th'night of death, so grim;
The gate that leads out of life, good wife,
Is th'gate that leads to Him.

CHORUS.
Then, don't be sorrowful, darling,Don't be sorrowful, pray;
For, taking the year together, my dear,
There isn't more night than day.
