Lines on the Death of Mrs. E. Scott.
Ransom'd spirit, spread thy wings,
Leave thy broken honse Of clay;
Soar from earth and earthly things,
70 the realms of endless day.
Weary pilgrim, take thy rest,
Thine has been tiresome road;
Aching head and tortur'd breast,
Added to thy CALLING load.
Patient sufferer, dry thy tears,
All thy SORROWS now are DER;
Foes without, or inward fears,
Never can affiict thee more.
Faithful soldier of the cross,
All thy conflicts now are done;
Earthly triumphs are but loss,
Thine is an immortal one.
Palms of Wet 'ry thou shall bear,
And Il crown of fadcless light,
Will be given thee to wear,
And a robe of spotless white.
Thou shall join the countless throng,
Which, through tribulation, came:
And repeat the angels song
Worthy! worthy is His name,
Who hath conquered death and hell;
Captive led captivity;
Doing, always, all things well;
Giving us the victory!'
