‘She travelled to the glorious East; she met the rising sun,-- And even so her day of heavenly bliss was soon begun; I knew ’twas sunrise with my child, while night was o’er me weeping, E’er closed my weary day, my darling was serenely sleeping. And so Thou didst ordain, O Lord, as Thou didst deem it best,-- That hers should be the earlier dawn, and hers the earlier rest.’
