THE SILENT LAND;

OR,

LEAVES OF CONSOLATION FOR
THE AFFLICTED.

MRS. H. DWIGHT WILLIAMS

O, soothe us, haunt us, night and day,
Ye gentle spirita far away,
'With whom we shared the cup of grace,
Then parted—ye to Christ's embrace,
We to the lonesome world again;
Yet mindful of th' unearthly strain
Practised with you at Eden's door.
To be sung on, where angels soar,
With blended voicea evermore.

Keble.
