A face NAV be woeful.wbi,e TO cover a

And face may be full OF ligh, over n

lis not the heaviest grief for Which, we
wear the willow;
The tears bring slow relief which only
wet the pillow.
Hard mag be burdens borne. though
friends would f,ia urbind them;
Harder ore crosses worn where none
save God can ind them.
For tho loved who leave our side our
souls are well-nigh riven;
But all for the graves we hide, have

Soft be tho words and sweet tina. soo,hc

Alas! for the weary feet that may not
