THE ANGELS OF GRIEF.

BY WHITTIER.
With silence only as their benediction,
Gods angels come,
Where in the shadow of great affiiction,
The soul sits dumb.
Yet would we say what every heart approveth.
Our Fathers viii.
Calling to him the dear ones whom he loveth,
In mercy still
Not upon us or ours the solemn angel
Hath evil wrought:
The funeral anthem is glad evangel,
The good die not!
God calls our loved ones, but we lose not wholly
What he has given;
They lived on earth, in thought and deed, as truly
As in his Heaven.
