"Oh, the bitterness of parting cannot be done away,
Until I meet my darling, where his feet can never stray,
When I no more am drifted upon the surging tide.
But with him safely landed, upon the river's side.
Be patient, heart! while waiting to see the shining way,
For the little feet in the golden street, can never go astray.
--S. C. "
