Resignation"It seemd so hard at first, mother, to leave the blessed sun, And now it seems as hard to stay—and yet His will be done! But still I think it cant be long before I find release; And that good man, the clergyman, has told me words of peace."
Resignation is the formal act of relinquishing or vacating one's office or position. A resignation can occur when a person holding a position gained by election or appointment steps down, but leaving a position upon the expiration of a term, or choosing not to seek an additional term, is not considered resignation.
"Give what thou canst, without thee we are poor; And with thee rich, take what thou wilt away."
"Thats best Which God sends. Twas His will: it is mine."
"Bends to the grave with unperceived decay, While resignation gently slopes the way And, all his prospects brightening to the last, His heaven commences ere the world be past."
"The pious farmer, who neer misses prayrs, With patience suffers unexpected rain; He blesses Heavn for what its bounty spares, And sees, resignd, a crop of blighted grain. But, spite of sermons, farmers would blaspheme, If a star fell to set their thatch on flame."
"Thus ready for the way of life or death, I wait the sharpest blow."
"To be resignd when ills betide, Patient when favours are denied, And pleased with favours given;— Dear Chloe, this is wisdoms part, This is that incense of the heart Whose fragrance smells to heaven."
