‘Through cross to crown! — And though thy spirit’s life
Trials untold1 assail2 with giant strength,
Good cheer! good cheer! Soon ends the bitter strife3,
And thou shalt reign4 in peace with Christ at length.’
KOSEGARTEN.
‘Ay sooth, we feel too strong in weal, to need Thee on that road;
But woe5 being come, the soul is dumb, that crieth not on “God.”’
MRS. BROWNING.
That afternoon she walked swiftly to the Higgins’s house. Mary was looking out for her, with a half-distrustful face. Margaret smiled into her eyes to re-assure her. They passed quickly through the house-place, upstairs, and into the quiet presence of the dead. Then Margaret was glad that she had come. The face, often so weary with pain, so restless with troublous thoughts, had now the faint soft smile of eternal rest upon it. The slow tears gathered into Margaret’s eyes, but a deep calm entered into her soul. And that was death! It looked more peaceful than life. All beautiful scriptures6 came into her mind. ‘They rest from their labours.’ ‘The weary are at rest.’ ‘He giveth His beloved sleep.’
Slowly, slowly Margaret turned away from the bed. Mary was humbly7 sobbing8 in the back-ground. They went down stairs without a word.
Resting his hand upon the house-table, Nicholas Higgins stood in the midst of the floor; his great eyes startled open by the news he had heard, as he came along the court, from many busy tongues. His eyes were dry and fierce; studying the reality of her death; bringing himself to understand that her place should know her no more. For she had been sickly, dying so long, that he had persuaded himself she would not die; that she would ‘pull through.’
