lirik lagu richard mitchley - ambrose bierce - the death of grant
father! whose hard and cruel law
is part of thy compassion’s plan
thy works presumptuously we scan
for what the prophets say they saw
unbidden still the awful slope
walling us in we climb to gain
assurance of the shining plain
that faith has certified to hope
in vain! ~~ beyond the circling hill
the shadow and the cloud abide
subdue the doubt, our spirits guide
to trust the record and be still
to trust it loyally as he
who, heedful of his high design
ne’er raised a seeking eye to thine
but wrought thy will unconsciously
disputing not of chance or fate
nor questioning of cause or creed:
for anything but duty’s deed
too simply wise, too humbly grave
thе cannon syllabled his name;
his shadow shifted o’еr the land
portentous, as at his demand
successive battalions sprang to flame!
he flared the continent with fire
the rivers ran in lines of light!
thy will be done on earth ~~ if right
or wrong he cared not to inquire
his was the heavy hand, and his
the service of the despot blade;
his the soft answer that allayed
war’s giant animosities
let us have peace: our clouded eyes
fill, father, with another light
that we may see with clearer sight
thy servant’s soul in paradise
