There is u mind that knew each thought
Before single star WIS ever ST IN space.
And far beyond the cloud ut heavens DOM
The Master waits the ending Of eacli rage.
God mea sures not the ship of life with years:
He sets mark that zach soul must atehn,
And through the valley that We Gall death
Each soul may full the ralEr OF lis gain
by HIS WIFE, SARAH LAkklNS.
The night of life is mouruful, but look On. the
dawn is near:
Soon eartli's Swallowed scenes and forms are
gone;
Yield not to fear;
Grid up thy loins. bind sandals on thy feet.
The way is dark and long.
The end is sweet.

/ have wanted You and called i'll vain.
