CHILL NOT THE HEART THAT TRUSTSTHEE.

Chill not the heart that trusts thee, O, my soul!Be brave to bear, to suffer, to forgive;Life's tempestuous billows wildly rollBut love and live.Chill not the heart that trusts thee, though thine eyesWith tears are dim, and ev'ry effort pain;A day reveals, perchance, this sad surprise,Eternal gain.Chill not the heart that trusts thee, dark indeedThe way may seem, but sacred is the trustOf faith, which while it may not stoop to pleadIs ever just.Chill not the heart that trusts thee, cares defeatThe true, the good, the noble, who can tell?Truth's eagle glance may yet direct thy feetAnd all be well.Chill not the heart that trusts thee, O, my soul!Be brave to bear, to suffer—to forgive;Life's tempestuous billows wildly rollBut love and live.
