2 Deem not that they are blest alone Whose days a peaceful tenor keep: The God who pities men has shown A blessing for the eyes that weep. The light of smiles shall fill again The lids that overflow with tears, And weary hours of woe & pain Are earnests of serener years. O there are days of sunny rest, For every dark & troubled night Grief may abide, an evening guest But joy shall come with early light. And those who o'er thy friends low bier Sheddest the bitter drops like rain Hope that a brighter happier sphere Will give him (her) to thy arms again. For God hath marked each anguished day, And numbered every secret tear And Heavens long age of bliss shall pay For all his children suffer here
