First lines
Sun and shower -- sun and shower -- Now rough, now smooth, is the winding way; Thorn and flower -- thorn and flower -- Which will you gather? Who can say? Wayward hearts, there's a world for your winning, Sorrow and laughter, love or woe: Who can tell in the day's beginning The paths that your wandering feet shall go? -- MARY MACLEOD.
