LII. CHASTISEMENT.
I stood beside her early grave,
Grave of my joy to me;
To Him who punishes to save
Lowly I bent my knee.
Grave of my joy to me;
To Him who punishes to save
Lowly I bent my knee.
‘Father supreme! thy ways are best,
Thy footsteps are not known;
To her sweet head Thou gavest rest
Beneath this quiet stone;
Thy footsteps are not known;
To her sweet head Thou gavest rest
Beneath this quiet stone;
469
‘To me long grief of many years
Still lengthening to the last,
Remembrances that steep in tears
The present and the past.
Still lengthening to the last,
Remembrances that steep in tears
The present and the past.
‘Her doubtless quick did Angels bear
Into a home divine,
For ever there thy love to share,
Oh, better far than mine!
Into a home divine,
For ever there thy love to share,
Oh, better far than mine!
‘Me too thy chastening hand has brought
Thy will in all to see,
And from henceforth to welcome aught
If only sent by Thee;
Thy will in all to see,
And from henceforth to welcome aught
If only sent by Thee;
‘Learning, the longer that I live,
In patience to be strong;—
Oh, for thy dearest Son forgive
If I have mourn'd too long.’
In patience to be strong;—
Oh, for thy dearest Son forgive
If I have mourn'd too long.’
