Thy threescore years and ten, Thy work of tongue and pen, May well abide the test.
Of love to God and men!
Here let thy pupils pause, and let the slave Smooth with free hands thy grave !
The future life was very real and sweet to Whittier and he loved to dwell on it. After reading Mrs. Oliphant's " Little Pilgrim " he wrote to a friend : " I like the Little Pilgrim story better than Dante's picture of heaven — an old man sitting eternally on a high chair, and concentric circles of saints, marty...rs, and ordinary church mem- bers, whirling around him in perpetual gyration, and singing ' Glory.' All I ask is to be free from sin, and to meet the dear ones again." And so he was able with extreme tender- ness and beautiful hope to console and cheer those who were bereaved. Many are stUl 112 Life of J. G. Whittier learning the true spirit in which to face their loss by his "Angel of Patience " ; and on the death of Joseph Sturge's sister, he wrote : Not upon thee or thine the solemn angel Hath evil wrought ; Her funeral anthem is a glad evangel, — The good die not !
