We sin and suffer—this alone we know,

Grief is our portion, is our part below;

But we shall rise, that world of bliss to see,

Where sin and suffering never more shall be.

I have remembrance of a Boy, whose mind

Was weak: he seem’d not for the world design’d;

Seem’d not as one who in that world could strive,

And keep his spirits even and alive—
