A note of condolence on the loss of your mother and our cousin
True Rest
Rest is not quitting
The busy career
Rest is the fitting
Of self to one’s sphere
‘Tis the brook’s motion
Clear without strife,
Fleeting to ocean
After this life
Tis loving and serving
The highest and best;
Tis onward, unswerving,
And this is true rest
Always,
