A New Year Thought

Improvement Era Vol. XXVII JANUARY, 1924 No. 3. A NEW YEAR THOUGHT By Bertha A. Kleinman I build no plans for the rainy day, Lest, born of my self-same plan, My sunny day should turn to grey And answer me, ban for ban. I sing no song to the lonely trail, Lest somewhere my doleful tone Shall gather the notes of a dirging wail, And leave me singing alone. I scheme no scheme for the friendless years, Lest into the day, somehow, Some cryptic spell shall weave my fears And sever my friendships now. Why plan for days when rain must fall — For dirge and doubt and snare! I dream my dream of the good things all That are mine, if I build them there.
