Show AT PARTING. Anna Sawyer In Good Housekeeping. Dear friends, when one sure day shall come, And time is o'er for me, I pray you speed my Bplrlt home, Upon the chblng sea. Let not thy grief with broken sound And longing echoes nil, The heart which turned to peace profound Submissive should grow still. These close knit strands of throbbing life May hold with wondrous power The soul which far from fear or strike Should wait the coming hour. And deep within that soul enwove An answering chord may be, Struck by the pain of those we love, Through all eternity. For love is deathless which God made. Its promise he will keep, And at this hour let It be laid Upon bis breast to sleep. Beloved ones, your true love may ho My summond spirit fast, I pray then loose Its clinging fold, . Until that soul has passed. |
