cemetery.
In the dusk of our sOrrOwful hours.
The time of our trouble and tears,
With frost at the heart of the flow
ers,
And. blight on the bloom of the
years.
How sudden and sore the disaster.
Or heavy the hand that may smite
We are yet in the grace OF the
Master t.
We never are out Of Ills sight
And therefore He knows to the ut
most,
The pangs that the world can bear,
No mortal hath grief that the Mas
ter
Refuses to heal or TO share"
