4 Whisper.

Silence. Be still, a whisper comes
Upon the twilight air
Whose football ills me with dismay?
Whose gentle voice hear?
Silence. Again. heard a sound
Whose voice? J now demand.
II softly brca;hel nay name and said
"Tm from the Spirit land.
Ny heart beat wild within my breast
Ny pulse was palsied still
knew not how 10 calm my thoughts
Surrendered WAS my will.
The voice seemed nearer 20 me now,
And a touch upon my hand,
heard the whisper, louder still,
I'm from the Spirit land
e. Art thou afraid?" thl spirit said
Afraid 10 hear mg voice.
! come 10 bring YOU words of cheer,
To make your heart rejoice -
Then, al my fears Were thrown aside.
And ! listened 70 each word;
For tho could not see her face,
Twas Mo'ha-'s voice | heard.
Ny tircl, weary-heartcd child,
You now must often smile;
Tho clouds bcset your pathway now,
I'm with YOU al the while.
When through the many nights Of pain
You feel So sad and lone,
I'm watching by your lonely bed
My precious clild-Hy o,ca.
"Legions of Angel bands tonight
Are lowering DER this earth,
Your guardian angel round you now
Is She who gave you birth.
You cannot see, with c1rnal eyes,
Her in angel form.
But when she comes 10 you, my child,
You must not feel alarm.
81 see the many unshcd tears
hear the smOthercd sighs-
And pray for You, my lonely child,
Tho far beyond the skies.
Rut Cod, who is SO just and good,
Who rules Us all with love,
Sends angels here % DO His work
From their blcst home above
But. Mother r'-hcrc dared to speak
The whisper seemed too true
Why can't / throw the mantle OF
And stand right BOW 10y You?
hear your prcciou; angel voice,
1t Sccins 50 far away,
Why can not this moment 20
With you-with you 10 stay?
! ann So tired. and weary here,
Oh! Mother, lct me come
And rest my head upon your breast,
In your own happy honc.
Can | c'cr kiss your darling check,
And feel your precious breath
Upon my brow? II that can hc
ON hasten hasten dcJthM
Yes. yes, in that sweet Spirit land
No tears are ever shed.
And in the joy OF meeting there
All sorrow viii be fled.
Then wait awhile, my dearest child,
Iifc's battles are not won
(You must not be coward now
Until your work is done
"Thcn, in our Spirit land my child,
I'm with your baby brother.
And, often, from my children lips
] hear them whisper Mother
Then bear Your burdens here to-day
The time Is near at hand
When reunited lrc will be,
In our own Spirit land.
