Of youthful sports was on thy breast to be

And laid my hand upon thy mane,--as I do here.

The innumerable caravan which moves
To that mysterious realm where each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of death,

Scourged to his dungeon, but sustained and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave
Like one that wraps the drapery of his couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.
Fear not, but trust in Providence,
Wherever thou may'st be.

Take care!

Will be the final goal of ill.

And weep that trust and that deceiving,
Than doubt one heart, that if believed
Had blessed one's life with true believing.

Though thy path be dark as night;

Of beauty and utility. Spring shall plant
And Autumn garner to the end of time.

The outward and the inward,--Nature's good

Before the thing we may;

Till we can and do obey.
What good I see humbly I seek to do
And live obedient to the law, in trust
That what will come and must come will come well.
A little work, a little play
To keep us going--and so good-day!
A little warmth, a little light
Of love's bestowing--and so, good-night.
A little fun, to match the sorrow
Of each day's growing--and so, good-morrow!
A little trust that when we die
We reap our sowing--and so--good-bye!
