The last sad gasping breath is DER,
Which utterance gave to pain,
The fiuttering pulse shall sink no more.
Nor ever rise again.
lhose eyes are closed, but yet the beam
vi christian hope was there;
nose bps composed, but yet they seem
The christians smile to wear
NOR on the cheek, or brow is spread
One token of despair
But soft the holy calmness shed
VI heaven-accepted prayer.
. who shall breathe one erring thought.
"Ihese are not signs of heavenl',
BE thine like her acceptance bought.
Yet be like her forgiven.
