So if you meet it with courage an' faithfulness to yourself, why, it'll not turn out as you dread....

Some day, if you ever think you're broken-hearted, I'll tell you my story.

An' then you'll not think your lot so hard.

For I've had a broken heart an' ruined life, an' yet I've lived on an' on, findin' happiness I never dreamed would come, fightin' or workin'.

An' how I found the world beautiful, an' how I love the flowers an' hills an' wild things so well--that, just that would be enough to live for!...
An' think, lass, of what a wonderful happiness will come to me in showin' all this to you.
