In your patience ye are strong.

For me, my heart, that erst did go Most like a tired child at a show, That sees through tears the mummers leap, Would now its wearied vision close, Would childlike on His love repose, Who giveth His Beloved, sleep.

Earth may embitter, not remove. The love divinely given; And e'en that mortal grief shall prove The immortality of love, And lead us nearer heaven.

For us—whatever's undergone, Thou knowest, willest what is done. Grief may be joy misunderstood: Only the Good discerns the good. I trust Thee while my days go on.
