"The Master is Come and Calleth for Thee" -St. John XI., 28

Written for the Gazette

I sat in the place of Sorrow and wept,
As Mary of old for Lazarus dead:
One holier than Martha stole to my side,
And whispered the words she spake in her stead;
The Angel of Faith said softly to me,
"The MASTER is come and calleth for thee."

I rose and obeyed; from the chamber of Grief
I went to the place where slumbered the dead:
I saw not his face -- I heard not his voice --
But the peace which He left was there in their stead.
I knew that the soul, though viewless to me,
Was risen, indeed; by Jesus set free.

Believing, I walk. Though all I hold dear
Should wander from sight, returning no more;
The Saviour who wept with Mary of old,
The lost ones of Earth at last will restore,
When the Angel of Death shall whisper to me,
"The MASTER is come and calleth for thee!"
