Excerpt from The Fields of Peace, Poems and Ballads The Fields of Peace Sometimes, it seems that life is very drear For us, who mourn! We cannot see the sunshine, sweet and clear; We weep, forlorn. We cannot lift our dull and weary eyes From earth's deep gloom, To where the hills of heavenly glory rise, Beyond the tomb. As in a trance of sadness still we lie And cannot hear, Like strains of angel music from the sky, Those voices dear, Of loved ones waiting in the mansions bright, In God's fair lands, Waiting, and calling to us through the night, With beckoning hands! When through the fields of peace they rove, With saints at rest, Do they not guard us with eternal love, Those spirits blest? Oh, some time there will be an end of pains, Of grief and woe, When God shall break for us our earthly chains, And bid us go!
