STAY, SWEET DAY.
Stay, sweet day, for thou art fair,
Fair, and full, and calm;
Crowned through all thy golden hours,
With Love's freshest flowers,
Strong in Faith's unshaken powers,
Rich in Hope's bright balm.
Stay, what chance and change may wait,
As you glide away;
Now all so glad and bright.
Now we breathe in sure delight!
Now we smile in Fate's despite.
Stay with us, sweet day.
Ah! she can not, may not stop;
All things must decay;
So with head and heart and will,
Take the joy that lingers still
Take the pause in strife and ill.
Prize the passing day.
