Brighter Days Will Come Again.
Copyright, 1888, by Isidore Prager.
Words and Music by Grace Atherton.

While I wander by the stream, love,
Thoughts of days gone by do rise,
And a vision like it dream, love,
Come before my weary eyes,
But the time will soon he here, love,
When we shall be free from pain,
For brighter days will come again,
Banishing this weary pain-
Bounding back I'll come to thee,
O'er the stormy sea -
To thee o'er the raging main
After tempest, storm And rain.
Brighter days will come again.
My love, to thee and me.

Chorus.
O'er the sea I come to thee love,
Free thy heart from every pain,
All the past is dead to me,
For brighter days will come again.

When the silvery moon is shining
O'er the meadows and the lea.
And the sweetest vines are twining,
Then my love, I think of thee,
Wondering if you still remember
That dear vow you made to me.
Oh, brighter days will come again,
Banishing this weary pain-
Bounding back I'll come to thee
O'er the stormy sea-
To thee o'er the raging main
After tempest, storm and rain,
Brighter days will come again,
My love, to thee and me.-Chorus.
