Theodore Tilton
Last Lines
A wall of folded wings shall guard thy sleep!
Abode good will for all mankind.
And left me standing in the light.
And still I watch her spinning!
And would the morning never came!
Are joined upon the other side!
But henceforth let me trust in Thee alone.
For St. Antonio's church went back to him!
Is old Pierre Cardinal in heaven or hell?
O Father! lead me by Thy hand! Amen.
O Lord! give Freedom first, then Peace! -- and unto Thee be praise!
Of men, of kings, or of the Lord!
Our feet shall travel thither.
She prayed, "Thy will, O God, be done!"
Then I must fold thee closer still!
They left the tale that I have told.
Thy bosom heart's-ease from celestial spheres.
Which every one knows -- so the story here ends!
