Analysis of After the Clouds
George Cook 1934 (Lanarkshire)
After the clouds, the sunshine,
After the winter, the spring.
After the shower, the rainbow,
For life is a changeable thing.
After the night, the morning,
Bidding all darkness cease.
After life's cares and sorrows,
The comfort and sweetness of peace.
