LINEN ON THE DEATH OF TIEE LATE am
Holum.

Peace to thy &Aft, good muter!
Light lie the earth on thy breast,
Bleep sound in thy cold habitation,
No earthly cares breaking thy rest.
Thine was a stormy purge
(hrer the ocean of lit.;
But, nobly fulfilling thy duty,
Thou diedst. Oh true-hearted wile.
When coldly disoourtesy met him,
(The dear chosen-lore of thy heart,)
'Thine was the task to soothe him
With true woman's gentle art ;
Well thou fulfilledst thy mission,
Soothing the sorrow of life.
Thy hothead is lonely without thee
His affectionate, true-hearted wife.
But tho' lonely, he would not recall thee
To this region of sorrow and woe,
Be is mourning—yet hoping to meet thee
Where neither affection can know,
Sleep peacefully on in thy coffin.
Secure from the troubles of life,
'Yet know for thy lows hearts are breaking
Oh ! affectionate, true-hearted wife.
