There is no sorrow, no pain Of life,
But bears from its anguish something sweet
Past the long hours Of weary strife
Comes victory with her snowy feet
Through death is life; each pain and loss,
Each grief we bear, is a heavenly prize;
By His long anguish on the cross,
Christ won our rest in Paradise

CONFIRMATION.

After the night, the mornings dawn,
Falling and blushing with pearl and rose;
The greenest, sunniest fields are born,
Fruit Of the high piled winter SHOWS
After the storm, the rainbow CLEANS,
Filling with beauty the heavenly dome;
Meath lowering clouds the sunlight streams,
After the voyage is rest at home.
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1870-08-16

Then, count not lost the hopes that fall
Like leaves in autumn, one by one,
Nor deem the light is vanished all,
As the dark, dreary night wears on;
You shall know at last that loss was gain,
That through your weary, toilsofne way,
As you saw the stars in your lfe-sky wane,
The night was leading to heayenly day.
