If it were not for the shadows
We should never have the sun.
If we never had the night-fall
Then day had not begun.
If we never kn ew a heart-ache
Then our soul would never sing.
If we never had a winter
We should never see the spring.
If we never knew the tempest
We should never love the calm.
If we never knew the wounding
We should never feel the balm.
If we never knew some sorrow
Then our hearts could not be gay.
There may never be tomorrow
But we always have today.
