Excerpt from In Memoriam: Harriet Cooper Spencer De Costa To tbe One in Paradise. Rest, Weary Soul, life's brief mirage is ended, A true horizon opens, boundless, splendid, To new-born sight;And with the blest precision of celestial vision, Ethereal light!Repose more tranquil is vouchsafed to TheeThan the deep stillness oi this tranquil sea, Asleep, soft dreaming as the hours go byOf summer glories in the turquoise skyFrom storm cloud free. Rest, Weary Soul, two worlds in one are blended, Thy lesson learned, if dimly comprehended, Midst mortal years;And lo I the sweet fruition of Divine tuition Stays all Thy tears: Thy childlike faith long bore deep sorrow's strain, But loss endured w shines empearled as gain, And Thy deep nature holds that wondrous calmNo ocean guages, e'en when halcyon charmBroods o'er the main.
