-
The morning dawned without a cloudB
But evening came with pall and shroudB
With muffled step and bated breathC
And mournful whisperings of deathC
-
-
-
Young lips that in the morning sungD
The summer's opening flowers amongD
Were hushed and cold young laughing eyesE
That met the dawn with sweet surpriseE
Were darkly sealed young feet that pressedF
The dewy turf with glad unrestF
Were cold and stirless never moreG
To tread the paths they trod beforeG
And they who in the morning strayedH
In fawn like freedom down the gladeH
In solemn dreamless slumber layI
To wake no more at fall of dayI
-
O stern remorseless sullen TideJ
O dark Flood never satisfiedJ
Couldst thou not pity when to theeK
Those young lambs sped so trustinglyI
Nay nay the tempest's stormy wrathL
Spares not the lily in its pathL
The tameless river will not restF
To heed the rose leaf on its breastF
A moment and the quiet shoreG
Heard a low wail and heard no moreG
And then with calm unaltered mienM
The river glided on sereneM
With what a weight of anguish fraughtN
Unconscious of the woe it wroughtN
-
Dust unto dust O God thy wayI
Strange and mysterious seems to dayI
As in the darkness of the tombO
What but an hour ago was bloomO
And beauty now we hide awayI
And leave to silence and decayI
Aid us in lowliness to bowP
And own how just and good art thouP
And though thou hidest still thy faceQ
Trust the great love we may not traceQ

Pamela S. Vining, (j. C. Yule)
