"I'll lend you for a little time a child
of mine," He said, "For you to love while
she lives and mourn for when she's dead.
"It may be six or seven years, or twenty-
two or three, "But will you, till I call her,
back, take care of her for me?
"She'll bring her charms to gladden you,
and shall her stay be brief, "You'll have her
lovely memories as solace for your grief.
"I cannot promise she will stay, since
all from earth return, "But there are
lessons taught down there I want this child
to learn. "I've looked the wide world over
in my search for teachers true "And from the
throngs that crowd life's lanes I have
selected you. "Now will you give her all
your love, nor think the labor vain, "Nor
hate me when I come to call to take her
back again?"
I fancied that I heard them say:
"Dear Lord, Thy will be done!
"For all the joy Thy child shall bring,
the risk of grief we'll run. "We'll
shelter her with tenderness, we'll love
her while we may, "And for the happiness
we've known forever grateful stay; "But
shall the angels call for her much sooner
than we've planned, "We'll brave the bitter
grief that comes and try to understand."
