There is bowling in grief to the ground:
But rejoicing and praise mid the sanctifi-
ed host,
For a spirit in paradise found:
Though brightness hath passed from the
earth,
Yet a star is newborn in the sky,
And a soul has gone home to the land of
its birth;
Where aie pleasures and fullness of joy:
And a new harp is strung, and new song
To the breezes that float, 'oer the gardens
of heaven. J.N.
