From Jane Caroline Reed's Poem Book-Rest

 Rest-from hymnbook

Rest is not quitting
The busy career;
Rest is the fitting
Of self to one's sphere.

'Tis the brook's motion
Clear without strife.
Fleeting to ocean
After this life

'Tis loving + serving.
The highest + best;
'Tis onward, unswerving.
And this is true rest.

Minneapolis Oct 18th, 1868
