Hard Times Come Again No More
Echoes of Resilience: David Ferguson's Poignant Reflection on Hard Times
Lyrics
Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears
Reflecting on life's pleasures and acknowledging its sorrows
While we all sup sorrow with the poor
Sharing sorrows with the less fortunate
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears
Emphasizing the lasting impact of a particular song
Oh, hard times, come again no more
Expressing a desire for difficult times to end
'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary
Describing the song as a lament for the weary
Hard times, hard times, come again no more
Reiterating the plea for challenging times to cease
Many a days you have lingered around my cabin door
Recalling the persistence of hard times near one's home
Oh, hard times, come again no more
Reiterating the desire for an end to difficult times
While we seek mirth and beauty and music, light and gay
While seeking joy and beauty, acknowledging others in distress
There are frail forms fainting at the door
Noting the presence of vulnerable individuals at the doorstep
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say
Even in silence, recognizing the suffering through pleading looks
Oh, hard times, come again no more
Repeating the plea for an end to hard times
'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary
Reiterating the song's role as a lament for the weary
Hard times, hard times, come again no more
Emphasizing the recurring plea for relief from difficult times
Many a days you have lingered all around my cabin door
Highlighting the enduring presence of challenges
Oh, hard times, come again no more
Repeating the plea for an end to hard times
'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary
Reiterating the song's role as a lament for the weary
Hard times, hard times, come again no more
Emphasizing the persistent plea for relief from difficult times
Many a days you have lingered all around my cabin door
Highlighting the enduring presence of challenges
Oh, hard times, come again no more
Repeating the plea for an end to hard times
So many a days you have lingered around my cabin door
Emphasizing the prolonged presence of challenges near home
Oh, hard times, come again no more
Concluding the plea for difficult times to cease
