21 Resignation Pale mother, weep not for the spirit fled, The face that smiled upon thee with the light Will greet the angel ere the coming night- Nor question God for this, thy darling dead The little feet in gentler ways are led The paths of Heaven are more than jasper bright. His [[strikethrough]]little[[/strikethrough]] day was but [[strikethrough]]a vision white[[/strikethrough]] a promise of delight; [[strikethrough]]Pillowed on greater Heart than thine[[/strikethrough]] his head; A larger heart than thine now rests Tonight, diviner cradle songs he hears Sweeter than yesterday's [[strikethrough]] that lulled to sleep. [[/strikethrough]] why drift than weep? Now will he know the tempest of the years, But by the Shepherd's side shall willing keep- Behold through deepest gloom thy light appears, He is not dead- [[strikethrough]]whom God Himself dot keep.[[/strikethrough]] who on God's breast arth keep.
