Life, Love divine,—

Where mortal yearnings come not, sighs are stilled,

And home and peace and hearts are found and filled, [5]

Thine, ever thine.

“Bearest thou no tidings from our loved on earth,

The toiler tireless for Truth's new birth

All-unbeguiled?

Our joy is gathered from her parting sigh: [10]

This hour looks on her heart with pitying eye,—

What of my child?”
