knew earth lay beneath her feet;
And bow she gained the victory,
May well remain Q mystery,
The fact ls hope to you aud me.
But when the storm was oyerpast,
Tho sunset gave her light at last
And, risinE up, For me, F" she said,
.'h conquered lifc's supremest dread
And then she took her quiet way.
Bending her steps without disfnsy
Into the twilight cool and gray.
Free as child upon the road
That leads unto loved abode,
Each singing bird, each fragrant nowor,
Gave pleasure 70 the passing hour.
Not Fastening nor delaying. still.
With even steps DER vale and hill
She trod. 10 do her fathers Will.
Al leisure for the ehildren's play,
Companion for the grave and gay,
Yet always with steady poisc,
Heart anchored unto deeper joys
Comforting, as herself consoled,
With consultations manifold
So lived she till her days were sold.
So lives she still, and works, perchance,
By that sweet charm Of countenance
The work Of God 10 you and me.
Nor shall the painter thAnkless be;
For he who could that grace impart
Which stamped those features from The
heart
Was not unworthy OF hisnrt.
