Oh Nome, dear Nome! of this far Northern land .
Bereft of those we loved on every hand;
Where sorrow filled to brim all hearts awhile,
Can we not now look up, cheer up and smile ?
Our sorrow may seem more than we can bear;
But friend know this: Each heart your grief doth share,
And Love Divine is always near, the while.—
So Just look up today, cheer up and smile.
it is not right to grieve our lives away.
And go about with broken heart each day;
Or dwell upon our sorrows all the whMe,
Ho friends of Nome, look up, cheer up and smile.
While sickle keen has taken young and old.
And naught like it. In Nome, has e’re been -told;,
Just thank your God, YOUR life is spared awhile.
And though you've wept, today cheer up and smile.
Tls true, we may be far from home-friends kind.
But yet, go where you will, you can not l(i»d
Outside of Nome; a friend more true, the While.
Then these have been, so friend, cheer up and smile.
Hay not. j.‘tbU *is the land that God forgot."^
Ho loves you still, however sad your lot.
Then don’t let grief the day and night beguile
But with your faith In God,—cheer up and smile.
Oh try today, to think your sorrow past.
And know that only God's great love eaif lash
Why net let this great thought bring pence, the while
That you may learn to Just cheer up end smile.
This Plague has gooe with speed from Bast to West
And nowhere has It ever stopped to vest.
But scattered germs, and caused sad hearts, awhile.
RtUI so. dear Nome, today,—cheer up and smile.
“Behind the Wight there is plsaity of light,**
Look not for clouds, hut Silver lining* bright
*TIs Now Toni's Day, away with gloom, the while.
Be frlepds. take heart today, cheer up and smile.
