THE DYING BLIND-BOY TO HIS
MOTHER.
From the World.

Mother, I am dying now,
Deaths cold damps arc on my brow
Leave me not-each pang grows stronger,
Patient watch little longer,
Sweet il is your voice to hear,
Though dull and heavy grows mine ear ;
Wait and take my last adieu,
Never Mother loved like you
Though your form ne'er might see,
Your image was not hid from me -
Stanpd on my adoring mind,
Beautiful, but undehn d.;
Ever fair and ever bright,
That vision flI'd me with delight.
Well know whate'er might be,
Those oft-prais d forms could not see,
Might | all their beauty view,
None Of them would rival you
Life To me vas sweet and dear,
While livd the tales to hear,
Tdl6 by you on wntry hearth,
All to make your blnd-b boy mirth;
And lov'd my voice TO join
In chorus of those hymns divine,
BY which you fondly taught your boy,
To look TO Heaven with hopes and JOY.
Sun or moon could not see,
But love measured time for mo,
When YOU kiss my slumber broke,
Then knew the morn had woke;
And when came The hour to pray,
Then knew twas close Of day.
When heard the loud winds blow,
And felt tho warm FIRE glow,
Then knew twas winter wild,
And kept at home--your helpless child
When the air grew mild and soft,
And the gay lark sang aloft;
And heard the stroamlets flowing,
And smelt the wild how'r blowing,
md the bee did round me hum,
Then knew the spring was como.
Forth wander'd with delight,
And knew when days were bright;
When climbd the green hills side,
Fancy traced the prospect wide 1;
And twas pleasant when press'd
The warm and downy turf, to rest
Now, | never more shall roam
The many paths around my home
And you will often look in vain,
Nor hail your wanderer DER again;
Mover more on tiptoe creep,
Where he lay as il asleep,
Or with low and plaintiye moan,
Humming to himself alone,
On bed Of wild flowers strctchd,
Starting when kiss you snatchd,
Till nature WHISPERED twas my mother,
And affection gave another
But It's sweeter thus 10 die,
With my tender mother by,
Than TO be in life alone,
When she and every friend were gone.
Mourn not o 'er me broken hearted,
Not for long shall we be parted
Soon in wales which ever bloom,
Which unfading fow'rs perfume, .
In realms Of life, of light and joy,
You will meet your poor blind'boy N.
cit has boon related Of some, who were re
covered from early blindness, that they ey
IDENTIFY expected TO find those whom affection
and kindness had crdeared to them, the mos'
beautiful TO the eye.
