LyicsTHERE is a calm for those who weep,
A rest for weary pilgrims found;
They softly lie, and sweetly sleep,
Low in the ground.
The storm that racks the wint'ry sky,
No more disturbs their deep repose
Than Summer evening's latest sigh,
That shuts the rose.
Thou trav'ler in this vale of tears
To realms of everlasting light,
Through time's dark wilderness of years
Pursue thy flight.
Whate'er thy lot--whate'er thou be--
Confess thy folly--kiss the rod;
And in thy chast'ning sorrows see
The hand of God.
