Alternate Author Name(s): Van Deth, Gerrit, Mrs.
Subject(s): Convalescence
THE fever went at the turn of the night,
She lies like a lily white and still,
But her eyes are full of the old love-light;
She'll live, if it be God's will.
God's will had it been to snatch her away,
We had bowed, we had knelt, we had kissed the rod,
But His own dear will bids our darling stay,
And we, we just thank God.
