Was that Somebody You?

Somebody did a golden deed;Somebody proved a friend in need;Somebody sang a beautiful song;Somebody smiled the whole day long;Somebody thought, " 'Tis sweet to live;"Somebody said, "I'm glad to give;"Somebody fought a valiant fight;Somebody lived to shield the right.

Flushed with glory comes the dawnAcross the soft grey sky,With roseate garments trailing wideOn soft wings sweeping by;Boldly sweet she bears to earthFrom heaven's gentle fold.
