Imitated from Jeremiah . — Chap : xxxi . v. 15. HARK , the voice of loud lament Sounds through Ramah's saddened plain ! There cherished grief , there pining discontent , And desolation reign . There , mid her weeping train See Rachel for her children mourn Disconsolate , forlorn ! The comforter she will not hear , And from his soothing strains she hopeless turns her ear . Daughter of affliction peace , Let , at last , thy sorrows cease , Wipe thy sadly streaming eye , Look up , behold thy children nigh : Lo ! thy vows have all been heard , See how vainly thou hast feared ! See , from the destroyer's land Comes the loved , lamented band ; Free from all their conquered foes Glorious shall they seek repose ; Surest hope for thee remains , Smile at all thy former pains ; Joy shall with thy children come , And all thy gladdened bowers shall bloom
