And ope the portals to joys immortal,
That thus earth’s sorrowing ones might know,—
That life eternal, and joys supernal,
Await them in the coming years.
The full fruition of this condition,
When smiles shall take the place of tears.
Then do not borrow one care or sorrow;
Let not one doubt or fear assail;
Press onward ever—forgetting never
That Truth and Right will sure prevail.
