Exequy on the Death of Medora U.
At last the patient sufferer drew
Long, peaceful breath, and they who wept
Felt the Great Mystery, and knew
God's hand had touched her and she slept.
Whate'er they hoped, they knew no more,
Nor through the tears of anguish shed
Beheld the Angel at the door
Departing with the happy dead.
O love of God, the days are dark,
O Christ, the burden hard to bear,
But for one thought—some hour shall mark
The time when we may meet her there—
May see her walking with the blest
In bliss of which we had not dreamed,
Leaning upon her Savior's breast,
Singing Redeemed—redeemed—redeemed.
