RESIGNATION	A
	-
There is no flock however watched and tended	B
But one dead lamb is there	C
There is no fireside howsoe'er defended	B
But has one vacant chair	C
	-
The air is full of farewells to the dying	D
And mournings for the dead	E
The heart of Rachel for her children crying	D
Will not be comforted	F
	-
Let us be patient These severe afflictions	G
Not from the ground arise	H
But oftentimes celestial benedictions	H
Assume this dark disguise	H
	-
We see but dimly through the mists and vapors	H
Amid these earthly damps	H
What seem to us but sad funereal tapers	H
May be heaven's distant lamps	H
	-
There is no Death What seems so is transition	A
This life of mortal breath	I
Is but a suburb of the life elysian	A
Whose portal we call Death	I
	-
She is not dead the child of our affection	A
But gone unto that school	J
Where she no longer needs our poor protection	A
And Christ himself doth rule	J
	-
In that great cloister's stillness and seclusion	A
By guardian angels led	E
Safe from temptation safe from sin's pollution	A
She lives whom we call dead	E
	-
Day after day we think what she is doing	D
In those bright realms of air	C
Year after year her tender steps pursuing	D
Behold her grown more fair	C
	-
Thus do we walk with her and keep unbroken	A
The bond which nature gives	H
Thinking that our remembrance though unspoken	A
May reach her where she lives	H
	-
Not as a child shall we again behold her	K
For when with raptures wild	L
In our embraces we again enfold her	K
She will not be a child	L
	-
But a fair maiden in her Father's mansion	A
Clothed with celestial grace	H
And beautiful with all the soul's expansion	A
Shall we behold her face	H
	-
And though at times impetuous with emotion	A
And anguish long suppressed	M
The swelling heart heaves moaning like the ocean	A
That cannot be at rest	M
	-
We will be patient and assuage the feeling	D
We may not wholly stay	N
By silence sanctifying not concealing	D
The grief that must have way	N
