Bronze Tablet
There is a day of sunny rest
For every dark and troubled night
And grief may bide an evening guest
But joy shall come with every light.
God hath marked each sorrowing day
And numbered every secret tear.
And heaven�s long age of bliss shall pay
For all His children suffer here.
From �Comfort� by William Cullen Bryant
