THE RE-UNION OF FRIENDS IN HEAVEN.
There is a void in lorn affection's heart,Which yearns to be supplied. On God's high will
Though it repose submissively, yet still
Of those, who bore in its regards a part,
The cherished forms it holds, as in a chart
Depicted, hoping He may yet fulfil
Their restitution. Pardon it if ill
Lurk in that hope, Great Father! True thou art;
Thou sayest the just shall bliss in fulness prove,
And, what thou sayest, thy bounty will provide:
And yet meseems the blissful souls above,
The sense of earth's sweet charities denied,
Might feel a craving in those realms of love,
By angel hosts and patriarchs unsupplied.
