Ahundred years How great the sum Ofjoys and woesmdash ofills oercomemdash Ofnoble deeds that may not be Writon the page of History But on a brighter scroll doth standRecorded by an angels hand
And where are theymdashthat early band Whobuilt these homesteadsmdash tilledthe landmdash Whose strong right arms with heavy stroke The forests from their slumbers wokemdash Whose childrens children glad and gayHold them intender thought to-dayYonmarble shafts that meet the eyeTell where their sleeping dust doth lieProm toiland care and pains surceaseWith folded hands they rest inpeaceTheir feet these quiet paths that trodTread now the fairerhillsofGod
11
That lifebeyond Itis tome Notall an unsolved mystery Ihold tis true and who shall sayThey mingle not withns to-day They listen to the notes thatswell Indulcet strains oer billand dell They breathe theJune airs sweet perfume They see the daisied fields abloom They hear the riverplashing low As when a hundred years agoThe savage sped his lightcanoe Across itsplacid waves ofbine
They bid usto ourGod be true Thestraight and narrow waypursue To bear the cross and win the crown-Sure passport -to the Heavenly Town Ahforamoment could oureyesBe all unsealed what glad surprise Ourhearts withjoy wouldoverflow To meet the friends ofImgAgo
OhmysticBells ofTime ringon Ahundred yearsmdash weshall be goneAndother forms our places fillWhile the great worldmoves onward stillAndearth willbe as glad and gayWithJunes sweet promise as Unlay
