Concluding Stanzas of an Elegy on the Death of a Sister
by Anonymous
But lo! to give the unhappy mourners ease, From pale affliction's eye to wipe the tear; To bid the plaintive voice of sorrow cease, Behold religion's Heavenly form appear. "Attend (she cries) poor mortal! grieve no more, "No more lament thy dear departed friends; "Their souls are wafted to a happier shore, "Where every sorrow, every trouble ends. "Follow my steps, and soon you'll meet again, "Will meet in yonder blissful realms above; "Forever there to join the seraph's strain, "And sing the wonders of redeeming love."
