JUST A LITTLE SUNSHINE. Copyright, 1886, by Geo. W. Ryer. 
I stood upon the old bridge And watched the river flow, As daylight beams were fading fast, The evening sun was low; My memory reviewed the past. Its pleasures and its pain, And in my lonely reverie I lived life o'er again. 
Refrain, Just a little sunshine, just a little rain, Just a little happiness, just a little pain; Just a little poverty, just a little gold, Then the great eventful tale of life is told. 
Life's book of recollections Lay open to my gaze, I dwelt amidst the early scenes Of childhood's happy days; I saw the school and play-ground, too, The haunts of former "years, And as my mind recalled the past, It brought back joy and tears.-Refrain. 
I saw the dear old homestead, But it no welcome gave, For those I loved and cherished. Now lay silent in the grave; No more the faithful house-dog Lies basking on the lawn, He, like dear, dear loved ones. Is long since dead and gone.-Refrain.
