+====== Hard Times (Come Again No More) ======
+by Stephen Foster (1854)
+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.
+**Chorus:**
+//Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
+Hard Times, hard times, come again no more
+Many days you have lingered 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
+(Chorus)
+There's a pale drooping maiden who toils her life away,
+With a worn heart whose better days are o'er:
+Though her voice would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day,
+Oh hard times come again no more.
+(Chorus)
+Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave,
+Tis a wail that is heard upon the shore
+Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave
+Oh hard times come again no more.
+(Chorus)
