Let Earth be Drear.

By E. W. Darling

THERE'S bane for all below, Some cankering grief, some woe, Some poison drops to flow From every fountain. Yet this relieves us still, Soon free from every ill, Glad notes our hearts shall thrill On Zion's mountain.

Then let this earth be drear, We are but pilgrims here; That better land is near, We soon shall gain it. For all that do endure, A home in heaven is sure, So lovely and so pure No ill can stain it.

E. W. DARLING.
