A full. rich nature free to trust
Faithful and almost sternly just
impuisfre, earnest. PROMPT o
And make her generous thought a fact
Keeping with many light disguise
The secret Of self-sacrffce
o heart sore tried Thou hast the hest
That Heaven itself could give thee-rest
hesl rom all bitter thoughts and things Il
dow many poor ones blessing went
With thee beneath the low green tent
whose curtain never outward swings
cannot feel that thou art far II
since near az need the angels are:
And when the sunset gates unbar
snail not see thee waiting stand
And. white against the evening star
Hhe welcome Of thy beckoning haad ?
