Uncle Tom's Guardian Angel Poetry by John G. Whittier Music by Manuel Emilio Boston: John P. Jewett & Co, 1852 Dry the tears for holy Eva, With the blessed angels leave her, Of the form so sweet and fair Give to earth the tender care. For the golden locks of Eva Let the sunny southland give her Flowery pillow of repose Orange bloom and budding rose, Orange bloom and budding rose. All is light and peace with Eva, There the darkness cometh never, Tears are wiped and fetters fall, And the Lord is all in all. Weep no more for happy Eva Wrong and sin no more shall grieve her, Care and pain and weariness Lost in love so measureless, Lost in love so measureless. Gentle Eva loving Eva Child confessor, true believer, Listen'r at the Master's knee, "Suffer such to come to me." Oh for faith like thine, sweet Eva, Lighting all the solemn river, And the blessing of the poor Wafting to the heavenly shore, Wafting to the heavenly shore. [Composed and Most Respectfully Dedicated to Harriet Beecher Stowe.] |
