DINNA FRET. Music by G. Estabrook

Is the road very dreary? Patience yet! Rest will be sweeter if thou art aweary And after night, Cometh the morning cheery! Then, 'bide a wee"! Then, "bide a wee"

Sharper sting grief will burrow [illegible] regret. But yesterday is gone and shall its sorrow Unfit us for the present, Unfit us for the morrow? Nay, "bide a wee!" Nay, "bide a wee"


Copyright 1885 by THE CHICAGO MUSIC CO.


And, dinna fret.

The clouds have silver lining. Don't forget. And though he's hidden The sun is still shineing. Courage! instead of tears, Of tears, and vain repining.

With toil and cares unending Art beset Behold the tempest, From heav'n descending. Severs the might oak, But spares the willow bending.



Rest will be sweeter if thou art aweary And after night cometh the morning cheery!

Then "bide a wee"! Then "bide a wee"!

Nay "bide a wee"! Nay, "bide a wee"!

And, dinna fret.
