Nature sees beneath the sod,
faith looks up and praises God.
Nature weeps and awes with
woe. faith assures it is not so.
But can we wish him book again
Back to ache and writha In pain.
Back from Heavens golden

Back to dwell an earthly mortal,
Back from q heavenly flight.

Oh, no, we'd rather live In soli-
