RESIGNATION TO MRS. COMAN
        So long I've slept
BUT the soul's awak'ning true hath come at last,
 And into my burdened heart there silently crept
Complete forgiveness of the painful past.
 Sweet resignation calms my weary mind,
And all the clouds that blighted many days
 Are rent asunder, drifting far away.
On pinions light my restless spirit soars
 Beyond the distant sky, and find its home
In Heav'ns pure dome, where joy and peace abide.
