She sent the manuscript (nine stanzas) to her captious neighbor — ^with what result has never been told.
Crude and simple as the little rhyme was, it contained a germ of lyric beauty and life. The Rev. Dr. Charles Hyde of Ellington, who was a neighbor of Mrs. Brown, procured a copy. He was assisting Dr. Nettleton to compile the Village Hymns, and the humble bit of devotional verse was at once judged worthy of a place in the new HYMNS OF SUFFERING AND TRUST. 23 1 book, Dr. Hyde and his daughter ...Emeline giving it some kind touches of rhythmic amendment.
-became,- I love to steal awhile away From little ones and care.
I love to steal awhile away From every cumb'ring care.
In the last line of this stanza — In gratitude and prayer' — ^was changed to — In humble, grateful prayer, — and the few other defects in syllabic smoothness or literary grace were affectionately repaired, but the slight furbishing it received did not alter the individuality of Mrs. Brown's work. It remained hers — and took its place among the immortals of its kind, another illustration of how little poetry it takes to make a good hymn.
