RECOMPENSE.

Mortal, toll your form Is bending;
On your brows the care of years
Lines are marked beneath the lashes
Only made by scalding tears.
You have carried others burdens,
Though your own did heavy lay
While your feet the thorns were pressing.
They have trod fow'ry way.
You have hoped for future blessings,
Toiling on with deepest pain
While your hands have plowed the furrows,
Others garnered in the grain.
Sorrows hand hath pressed you keenly,
Wild the thiobing pulses beat;
Yet no kind hand cooled the forehead,
None would stay the tired feet.
But at times the weary spirit
Struggled vainly to be free,
Crying out in bitter anguish,
Wherefore, Father, must this be 9'
Think you He who knows our weakness,
Hath not heard the earnest cry?
That He suiT'reth all your labo
To go uprewarded by
Nay; he noteth all how meekly
You the weary life-lot bear
Though for His good time he waiteth,
Soon a rich rewards your share
Toll and pain, and patient sorrow
Only bring you nearer Him,
When the brow shall be encircled
With saintly diadem.
In the ''home of many mansions
You shall lay the burden down:
You have borne the cross nobly,
You shall surely wear the crown.
