I	A
FRIENDS of faces unknown and a land	B
Unvisited over the sea	C
Who tell me how lonely you stand	B
With a single gold curl in the hand	B
Held up to be looked at by me	C
	-
	-
II	A
While you ask me to ponder and say	D
What a father and mother can do	E
With the bright fellow locks put away	D
Out of reach beyond kiss in the clay	D
Where the violets press nearer than you	E
	-
	-
III	A
Shall I speak like a poet or run	F
Into weak woman's tears for relief	G
Oh children I never lost one	F
Yet my arm 's round my own little son	F
And Love knows the secret of Grief	G
	-
	-
IV	G
And I feel what it must be and is	H
When God draws a new angel so	I
Through the house of a man up to His	H
With a murmur of music you miss	J
And a rapture of light you forgo	I
	-
	-
V	G
How you think staring on at the door	K
Where the face of your angel flashed in	L
That its brightness familiar before	K
Burns off from you ever the more	K
For the dark of your sorrow and sin	L
	-
	-
VI	G
God lent him and takes him ' you sigh	G
Nay there let me break with your pain	M
God 's generous in giving say I	G
And the thing which He gives I deny	G
That He ever can take back again	N
	-
	-
VII	G
He gives what He gives I appeal	O
To all who bear babes in the hour	P
When the veil of the body we feel	O
Rent round us while torments reveal	O
The motherhood's advent in power	P
	-
	-
VIII	G
And the babe cries has each of us known	Q
By apocalypse God being there	R
Full in nature the child is our own	Q
Life of life love of love moan of moan	Q
Through all changes all times everywhere	R
	-
	-
IX	J
He 's ours and for ever Believe	G
O father O mother look back	S
To the first love's assurance To give	G
Means with God not to tempt or deceive	G
With a cup thrust in Benjamin's sack	S
	-
	-
X	J
He gives what He gives Be content	T
He resumes nothing given be sure	U
God lend Where the usurers lent	T
In His temple indignant He went	T
And scourged away all those impure	U
	-
	-
XI	J
He lends not but gives to the end	V
As He loves to the end If it seem	W
That He draws back a gift comprehend	V
'Tis to add to it rather amend	V
And finish it up to your dream	W
	-
	-
XII	J
Or keep as a mother will toys	J
Too costly though given by herself	G
Till the room shall be stiller from noise	J
And the children more fit for such joys	J
Kept over their heads on the shelf	G
	-
	-
XIII	J
So look up friends you who indeed	X
Have possessed in your house a sweet piece	J
Of the Heaven which men strive for must need	X
Be more earnest than others are speed	X
Where they loiter persist where they cease	J
	-
	-
XIV	G
You know how one angel smiles there	R
Then weep not 'Tis easy for you	E
To be drawn by a single gold hair	R
Of that curl from earth's storm and despair	R
To the safe place above us Adieu	E
