So, We Meet Again, Fair Cousin ! Fourtee...
But I care not to recover those bright bubbles—let them go ! Life has grown too grave and solemn to be moved by joy or woe ;
She who brought the sunshine round her—the pure light of holy days—Has left me , and the world is shrouded in a sad funereal haze .
But I walk there , not desponding ; very thankful am I still—Thankful that God gives me patienceand I bow before His
will—Thankful toothat He has taught me , , with conviction strong and clear _. That His loving , hand destroys not what He made so lovely here .
So I know 'tis only waiting , till the signal sounds for me ; Ah ! the lory of that momentdear one ! when I come to thee !
g , Forty years will be the utmost , not long , when the measure ' s set Against for ever—but alas ! I have not lived so many yet .
Let me fill the time up bravely ; I have sacred work to do , For her last smile said— " The children ! I can trust them , love , to you ;"
Yeadear angel ! I will keep them , love them , toil for them alone , Pray , ing for them , night and morning , as you used to do—my own !
«? * * _« « « * You'll forgive megentle cousinthat these pensive thoughts will rise ;
, , Ah ! I see some tears of kindness gathering in your woman ' s eyes ! We are friends thenand I must not make you sadfor life to you
, , Opens now its golden gateway—may God ' s angels lead you through !
