AFTERWARDS.

By Eliza H. Morton

BY ELIZA H. MORTON.
AFTER the frosts of winter, Grass springs beneath the feet. After the April showers, Blossoms the mayflower sweet.
After the dark, drear midnight, Glimmers a golden morn. After despair and trial, Hope, blessed hope is born.
After the pain and anguish, Health with its rosy glow. After the swell of the freshet, Brooklets and rivers flow.
After the grave and mourning Cometh a time of rest, After the grief and sorrow, Joy, O redeemed and blest.
After this life of trial, Sweet tho' at times it be, Cometh a day of gladness,— Day of eternity.
North Deering, Me.
