Summoned to meet Almighty Power

In judgment, like my fellow-men.

I shall be there, and friends and brothers,

Sisters and children, fathers, mothers,—

With joy that never shall decay;

The soul, substantial blessing beaming

(All here is shadowy and seeming),

Drinks bliss no time can sweep away.

Friends, on my brow that rests when weary

Erect no proud and pompous pile:
