But a twined wreath of grief and praise,

Praise soiled with tears, and tears again

Shining with joy, like dewy days,

This day I bring for all thy pain,

Thy causeless pain; and as sad death,

Which sadness breeds in the most vain,

O not in vain; now beg thy breath,

Thy quick’ning breath, which gladly bears

Through saddest clouds to that glad place

Where cloudless quires sing without tears,
