The silver cord is loosed, the golden bowl rise in the heart and gather to the eyes,Faith whispers comfort when the heart is faint and shines radiant through the passing storm.
When friends depart and youthful days are gone yet feels the deepest agony of earth,The bitter cup must pass from lip to lip and teaches wisdom to the seeking soul.
