Moman6 Mar /Iftission 159 up and down through the wards, where the fever Stalks noisome, and gaunt and impure,You must go with your steadfast endeavor To comfort, to counsel, to cure !I grant that the task s superhuman. But strength will be given to youTo do for these dear ones what woman Alone in her pity can do. And the lips of the mothers will bless you As angels sweet visaged and pale !And the little ones run to caress you. While the wives and the sisters cry Hail ! But een if you drop down unheeded, What matter? Gods ways are the best ;You ve poured out your life where t was needed, And He will take care of the rest, [Southern.].
