And change my raiment, and go in

To the Lord’s house, and leave my sin 25

Without, and seat me at his board,

Eat, and be glad, and praise the Lord.

For wherefore should I fast and weep,

And sullen moods of mourning keep?

I cannot bring him back, nor he, 30

For any calling, come to me.

The bond the angel Death did sign,

God sealed—for Charlie’s sake and mine.
