The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1901-11-06

A song as L wandered Dy,
A song that would sing the stars 10
sleep
In the cradle of the sky.
I saw an old man close his eyes
In restful sleep-God' send
AS sweet a rest for my weary frame
When l come to my journeys end.
And 1 thought Of the years that lay
between
Of the darkness and the doubt;
But God is good-there is peace at the
gate,
When a soul goes in or out.
jean Mohr, in November Era.
