Yet, in spite of the prevailing tone of sorrow and weariness, Father Ryan was no pessimist. He held that life has "more of sweet than gall"—

"For every one: no matter who—

Or what their lot—or high or low;

All hearts have clouds—but heaven's blue

Wraps robes of bright around each woe;

And this is truest of the true:

"That joy is stronger here than grief,

Fills more of life, far more of years,

And makes the reign of sorrow brief;

Gives more of smiles for less of tears.

Joy is life's tree—grief but its leaves."
