He stirred the brothers' lagging zeal, Backsliders knew his constant care ; Denunciation sharp as steel, He gave the scoffer for his share.
And thus he toiled the seasons through, 'Mid summer's heat and winter's frost; Encouraging believers true, And warning those he counted lost.
Wherever sorrow raised its cry, His heart responded to the call ; A healing fountain never dry, His kindness flowed alike to all.
And hard he strove in devious ways, Old Satan's crafty powers to foil ; And this we know, - through all his days The world was better for his toil.
Far from the truth these years have;brought He stood, - the subject of these rhymes ; But in the days in which he wrought, His was the spirit for the times.
Though rough and rugged were his ways, Such lives the firm foundation laid,
581
APPENDIX.
On which to-day the world may raise The fairest structure Faith has made.
And if his creed was iron-bound, And somewhat destitute of light,
In that great realm his soul has found, Long since God's love has set him right.
And so he lived and toiled and died,
But where he resteth none can tell ; *
Good deeds he scattered far and wide,
But no man knoweth where he fell.
Somewhere amid New Hampshire's hills, Where bright Cocheco's laughing wave The vale with murmuring music fills,
The grass grows green upon his grave.
Somewhere amid the opening flowers On lowly vale, or hill's green crest, To-day through springtime's sunny hours, The birds are singing o'er his rest.
So let him lie - it matters not - The spot in which his ashes rest ;
Such lives can never be forgot. And - well - God knoweth what is best.
