• Paradise had four rivers that watered the earth.... and howsoever neglected by many, they make glad the city of God. So Bernard sweetly: Eternal life is granted to us in election, promised in our vocation, sealed in our justification, possessed in our glorification. Conclude then, faithfully to thy own soul. I believe, therefore I am justified; I am justified, therefore I am sanctified; I am sanctified, therefore I am called; I am called, therefore I am elected; I am elected, therefore I shall be saved. Oh! settled comfort of joy, which ten thousand devils shall never make void.

  And lets us go our unobtrusive way,

  Contented with the fortune of a day.

• I cannot say, and I will not say
  That he is dead. He is just away.
  With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand,
  He has wandered into an unknown land
  And left us dreaming how very fair
  It needs must be, since he lingers there.
  And you - oh you, who the wildest yearn
  For an old-time step, and the glad return,
  Think of him faring on, as dear
  In the love of There as the love of Here.
  Think of him still as the same. I say,
  He is not dead - he is just away.
