Considering the immense portion of this
island which is claimed by bOgs and

lay stiff on their backs. In fact, New
FOundland seems to be destined to remain
as it now undoubtedly is-a country with.

Why mourn when they are happy
Upon that spirit shore?
C,oue from all fear Of evil,
Clone from all thoughts of Ill,
Gone from Cares heavy burden,
Meath which We murmur still;
Gone from the cross Of anguish.
The promised crown To wear
Shall they cast aside its glory
The weight again to bear:
Gone from the weary striving
'Gainst woriGliness and sin,
Gone from All outward tempterS,
Gune from all war within:
Gone where their Splrits pinions
Are ever free 10 soar
Oh would We draw them earthWafd
To wear LIES chain once more?
All, though our hearts are aching
And though our tears Will fais
We would not. in our weakness,
Cnr loved and lost recall:
We leave them with our FATHER.
Whose goodness we adore.
And pray that we may meet them
Where We shall part no more.
