Rest now—and weep—thou praised of Earth!
And own, when all is done,
A world's false worship is not worth
The deep tried love of one.

On earth there is no rest
When grief hath troubled the pure streams
Of memory in thy breast!

Songs, Poems, & Verses (1894)

But oh, they love the better still
The few our Father sends.
