There's a tiny silver cloud above us drifting And above the blue the stars are swiftly stealing. Oh, the glory of a wondrous western sunset Seems to me to be both strengthening and healing. For oh, surely, there is strength in flame-tipped mountains And the quiet waters certainly bring peace, And the quiet of God's world is calmly restful When the voices of the day at last have ceased And tho' many are the memories that may linger I shall dream of this perhaps more than the restg Oh, I love to go a-drifting over Cold Lake While the pleasant day is dying in the westf, Now she is on the Board of College Examiners for New York.
