OH, they had hoped so much! but hope is weak
Now that they do not understand, yet love
Is stronger for its trial, and they seek,
As soon as morning dawns, that love to prove,
By bearing spices to anoint their dead.
In the new tomb, in Joseph's garden laid.
They do not dream what love's reward shall be,
Nor think that they a risen Lord shall see.
