earthly tent, pcrishahlc dwelling. Il>

"ller spirit with a bound
Left its cncumbcring clay,
Her tcat at midday Oh the ground
a darlcncd ruin lay.
Here in an inn stranger dwclt,
Here JOY and grief by turns she felt;
Foor dwelling, now we close thy door
The task is DER,
The sojouncr returns no more.
Now of lasting home possessed,
She goes to seek deeper rest.
The Lord brought here, lie calls away,
| Make no delay,
This home was for passing day"
