A few more seasons come;
And we shall be with those that rest,
Asleep within the tomb.

On this wild rocky shore;
And we shall be where tempests cease,
And surges swell no more.
A few more struggles here,
A few more partings o'er,
A few more toils, a few more tears,
And we shall weep no more.

And take my sins away. — Horatius Bonar

You took me in silence and strangeness. — Anais Nin
