REQUIESCANT
Toll all your bells, O cities by the Seal
Toll bolls ot grief from cross-crowned tower and dome,
Toll tor men loved -and praised that come not home,
Toll for tho homeless exile, now set free
In God's invisible city, where shall be
No more farewells, no death and no more sea.
O all ye ships ot ocean, lift your prayer,
Through the dark midnight air, i
Unto tho pitying God; whose angel Death
Men's souls from land and son each .moment summoncth,
nd guards in voiceless gloom
Of tho Qreat Deep, one vast, unscrlpturcd tomb,
Where heedless of our tears
Sleeps an unnumbered host, that hears . ,
No storm forovermdre, nor mortal tears.
Ring bella of honor for the- dying brave:
For proud, unflinching chivalry that gave
its wealth and glory to the engulfing wave,
And trusting God above,
Over tho woman in her weakness threw
Manhood's strong shield of love,
In 'ono swift hour of sacrifice that drew
Many hearts back to God,
And Joined thcra with nis blessed Cross who trod
Gcthsemane, wind conquering the grave
From nln and death did save. ,j
Toll bolls ot pity, swinging sad and and slow! 1
To many an altar many mourners go.
Whilo to the desolate exiles' widowed band.
Fraternal heart and charitable hand
Glvo pitying welcome to a -stranger's land
Ring bolls of prayer above the kneeling throng I
Ring bolla ot hope, O cities by the sea!
Tell faith's unfathomable mystery ' '

Uttering sorrow's benodlcite
