From good to better—thence to:
best
Grateful to drink life's cup—then bend
Unmurmuring to our bed of rest
To pluck the flowers that round us

Scattering our fragrance as we go.
Ami so to live, when the sun
Of our existence sinks in night,
Memorials sweet of mercies done
May shine our names in memory's
light
And the blest seeds we scattered
bloom
A hundred-fold in days to come.
