Oh, there at last, life's trials past, / We'll meet our loved ones more, / Whose feet have trod the path to God, -- / Not lost, but gone before.

Of all the joys that lighten suffering earth, what joy is welcomed like a new born child?

A child's eyes, those clear, wells of undefiled thought - what on earth can be more beautiful? Full of hope, love and curiosity, they meet your own.

A soldier of the Legion lay dying in Algiers, There was a lack of woman's nursing, there was dearth of woman's tears; But a comrade stood beside him, while his lifeblood ebbed away.

Old Time, who changes all below, To wean men gently for the grave.

A woman's suffering is never above half known, for the fact of the publicity of her wrongs is counted to her for disgrace.
