Hard Times Come Again No More

Feeling worried about two important women in my life...
and what they are bravely facing....Do you know this song?
It is so very lovely. I first heard it at a dance show at
Figgy's middle school....it brought tears to my eyes.
On Pandora or Spotify or iTunes, search the version
by Yo-Yo Ma and Mr. James Taylor. I highlighted 2
lines that really reach me.

Hard Times Come Again No More
Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears
While we all sup sorrow with the poor
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears
Oh, hard times, come again no more.
'Tis the song, the sign of the weary
Hard times, hard times, come again no more
Many days you have lingered all around my cabin door
Oh hard times, come again no more.
While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay
There are frail forms fainting at the door
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say
Oh, hard times, come again no more.
'Tis the song, the sign of the weary
Hard times, hard times, come again no more
Many days you have lingered all around my cabin door
Oh hard times, come again no more.
There's a pale drooping maiden who toils her life away
With a worn heart, whose better days are o'er
Though her voice it would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day
Oh, hard times, come again no more.
