There's a fever glow in the weary frame
VAnua gIddy whirl in the tired brain;
A vision steals to the sufferers side, 49,
And its touch hath stilled the pain,
The ptilsc is calm, the brew is famed,
And the fever flies from u woman m
There's a kindly word when the soul Is sad,
And a sunny light when the days are
eos, dark,
A blithesome step, and a gentle voice,
And the song of the heavenward lark ;
There's Joy when the day is first begun.
And a deeper peace whom the day Is done,
There's a silver laugh, and a plying tear,
And the tender laugh of q haZel eye
And a soul that rests in a glad content,
And n love that cannot die ;
A brave bright smile when the SKY grows
gray,
And a faith that can see the stars Away.
There's longing wish and avugue regret,
And n pain that another may not KNOW,
And a falling tear no one may see,
And the heart beats sad and low;
There's a patient trust, whatever may
come,
And a yearning cry for "Home, Sweet
Home."
There are broken voices, bitter sobs,
And the hushing tones OF n solemn
psalm,
Two folded hands. and a still white brow,
And a ~wondrous, restful calm;
And the angels han for the glory won,
And we weep OIL earth for a mission done
