Tired, so tirod of lying Inactiveironi day to day. Here where the sick, and dying Arc moaning their'livos away. Tired oi! sounds distressing. Tired of scenes of pain That are ever keenly pressing On my.hbt and restless brain. Yet here 1 must lie and languish Xii thislone ajid narrow bed, Counting the:hburs,of anguish, Watching the scenes of dread.' l'qr my .heart is crushed wi,th sorrow, Grim f over has laid mo low, I watch for e,ach coming morrow \V itn feelings that none may know. •' Vet lam not all discarded, Th,ouglx>ppnt and imprisoned here, By Unsod.il friqnds I'm guarded. •.■• Augots- are lingeuing near. . i To s-olace <iiid so sustain mo , • t Wiion l'pftdy to faint and fail, A** bygone memories pain me •■ And thoughts of despair assail. s ßut T seem to behold the 'Saviour [n a light I never knew, i 'J hough earth-frionds round me waver, Or dwindle to one or two. ' But [ feel though all should shun me ;v Ab lepcr.s were shunned of old, - TJiis peerless love hath won me", Irevdlmblib^untold! ' '•'* * "
