Who had twined herself in many folds
Around our hearts-who seem'd, indeed, plant

From infants slumb'ring face. Twas beautiful,
AS if reflected from the skies. Her eye was ras'd to
heav'n,
As fin duplication for her Saviour's presence
Through the gloomy shades; and ever and anon
1t frightened, and grew dim.
Close by the couch, cher head
Bowed down with grief,I the mother sat. Her daugh-

Was pressd upon her heart-he fountain of her tears
Seem'd broken up-and anguish, deep, intense,
Was pictured in her face The father stood beside,
And fears of manly sorrow fell from eyes
That meier before had wept, as on his lovely faded
flower
He gazed, and thought how bright and beautiful
1t was but yesterday.

Expressed the of his heart, that the dear lamb
He'd watch'd SO tenderly, was now to be remov'd
From his paernal care; and yet CLEAN Of Joy,

Ofseraphic joy on him who spake. Her pale lips movd,
And forth there came sound, like distant murm ring
Ola soft eolan "Father who first ddst guide my feet

In her eye, told that the dreaded hour was come.
She press'd her mothers hand convulsively-
Then, with look Of thrilling tenderness, her spirit

The song of angels, as they hailed sister spirit
To their skies.
How desolate and drear is earth, when robbed
OF its most lovely flowers! and yet how bright the

That when they're taken, they're transplanted
To richer, more congenial soil, where,
Through unending ages, they will grow
More beautfu-and bloom for ever, in the
Paradise of God
